School Update:
Bringing Real-World Expertise into the Classroom
This week, our grade 5 students in Ms. Bower’s class welcomed two special guests – Ed, a DJ with AMP Radio Calgary, and Melissa, a producer for the station. As part of their book club work, students have each created a first episode of a podcast to share their thinking and learning. To help take their work to the next level, Ms. Bower invited Ed and Melissa to provide feedback on how to better engage listeners. Two great pieces of advice they gave students were to start their podcasts with a “lightening rod” – this can be an opinion piece to get the listener engaged as well as smiling when we speak to help improve our tone.
This experience connects directly to our school development goal of improving student comprehension by offering more engaging and creative ways for students to demonstrate their understanding. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from professionals and refine their communication skills in an authentic context. Thank you, Ed and Melissa, for your support!
