Today, I added a podcast about Zora Neale Hurston's life and literary works to a new blog project that I am starting with my honors classes this week on the Harlem Renaissance and the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. The students are creating powerpoints this weekend on different people of the Harlem Renaissance. They will present to the class early this week. I would like to have each of them write a script of a brief overview of their person's life and works. Then, I would like the students to create their own podcast on their important figure. I will have to get the students to start their Harlem Renaissance blog and set up the first blog as an introduction of the unit. Lastly, I will have students comment on another student's podcast blog. I am very excited to add this web 2.0 dimension to my current literature unit.
