Once again, my students were asked to utilize and repurpose online resources (audio from speeches and songs they could locate on YouTube), in order to ring these messages to a new generation, by mashing a civil rights inspired speech with any song(s) of their choosing, and to add words and/or phrases from the actual song that would enhance the overall message.

Wow! You're almost in middle school...so here are some tips & tricks to help you find your way!
As an educator, I am always looking to ensure that my students have the opportunity to explore topics about which they are knowledgeable AND passionate. This current project - What's Going on NOW? - tasks them with creating a podcast about ANYTHING. My ultimate goal, of course, is to get them talking about a variety of topics, by which they will inform and excite others about the topics by which they themselves are informed and excited. As always, I like to provide an example (although mine goes beyond the 3-5 minute limit I imposed, so maybe I should reconsider that), and so I chose to create a podcast about something that has been my passion since I was 8 years old...comic books. Specifically, the 10+ years of the MCU and the upcoming - as of the writing of this description - Avengers: Infinity War.
Technology educator Eric Hartman uses podcasts to teach, learn, and inform others, and hopes that his students enjoy it. Listen to them discuss history, geography, technology, and other educational topics, throughout the year!
