Objective: Students will determine how they’ll structure the podcast.
What you need: Six large pieces of tear-off construction paper or easel pad paper.
What students need: A notebook and writing utensil. ____________________________________________________________________________ Before class: Place six pieces of large tear-off construction paper or easel pad paper in various places around the classroom. Two should be at the front of the room or the board. Label these two:
- What is my story’s driving question?
- What is the story not about? Label the others:
- How will I ensure my story is fair to the people and ideas it represents?
- How will I engage my audience — and hold them?
- What are my dream ingredients?
- What will the audience remember when it’s over?
Start by opening up a class discussion about what types of podcasts students have heard.
What are some ways a podcast can be structured?
Why might a podcast be a one-on-one conversation, instead of a story told with using clips of multiple interviews?
Part 2: What’s the story?,
Spend 15 minutes working with students to craft responses to the two questions at the front of the room. Have them raise their hands and give ideas until the group settles on one driving question for their podcast. Then move on to the second:
what is the story not about?
The class should have lots of answers to this question and doesn’t need to settle on one.
Then move on to the papers around the room.
Students should get up and write a response to each question.
If they like someone else’s response, they should draw a star next to that response. Tell students to return to their desks after 10 minutes.
Part 3: Recap,
Once students have finished, have one classmate stand at each paper around the room and share the responses. Then debrief: given the class’s responses,
what do students envision their podcast including?
What will it NOT include?
How will these ideas shape the structure of the podcast -- will it feature one long conversation or multiple short interviews?
Pieces of tape from interviews and scenes?
Keep these posters around to guide students through the podcasting process. When they’ve recorded interviews and other sounds, remind them to look: this is what they envisioned for the podcast

Choosing A Topic, 60 minutes Objective: Students will choose a topic for their podcast.
Part 1: Small-group brainstorming, 30 minutes
Directions for students:
Part 2: Class brainstorming, 30 mins
Part 1: Small-group brainstorming, 30 minutes
Directions for students:
- Pick three of these prompts that you think would be fun to make a podcast about.
- How would you structure it?
- (A conversation as a group?
- An interview with one person?
- A story with clips of interviews and sounds, narrated by a host?)
- Tell us a story about your school or community: about something that happened there -- recently or in the past -- that you want your audience to know about.
- What is a moment in history that all students should learn about?
- Show us both sides of a debate about an issue that’s important to you.
- What do you want to change about the world? What’s a big change that you want to make in the future?
- Explain something to us that kids understand and grownups don’t.
Part 2: Class brainstorming, 30 mins
- Students should narrow down the ideas written on the board down to one. Use these questions to help. They should be thinking about specific tasks — interviews, sound recording, or editing — that each podcast idea could involve.
- What obstacles might come up as we create this podcast? ○ If this podcast idea involves traveling somewhere far away or interviewing someone famous, it might be difficult.
- Does the timeline work? ○ Can students complete their interviews or record other sounds well before the podcasts are due -- so that they have time to edit the audio?
