Other Skills Utilized: Students will practice creating podcasts, as well as collaboration, and debate skills. Students will practice understanding other people’s cultures, and be able to use that to understand how others think.
Lesson Plans: Students will be placed into groups of three. Then they will create a podcast series for each unit in 9th grade global studies. In this podcast they will have one person portray a modern America who is able to go back in time to interview various peoples through history (Never mind the linguistic barriers that would exist, we’ll add that to our suspension of disbelief!). The time traveler has found an Athenian and a Spartan who are willing to discuss their cultures and systems of government. The American is free to come up with various questions, and even mention a few features of modern American government and culture that these past Greeks my find interesting (or shocking). The podcast will last for 15 minutes each.
