[LIT] oral fluency - radio dramas

[amanda patrick]

Do all your students need Ipods to do this?? I'm confused!

thought, "Someone out there is already releasing some great old style radio
dramas in a free podcast." Shu-Nuff!

If you have iTunes you can search iTunes store using the key words "radio
drama". This can save you some time as they do have some labeled as "Clean"
or "Explicit".

On the web try searching with "classic radio drama podcast" or just "radio
drama podcast". 

I did find some oldies called "Five Minute Mysteries" that your students
might enjoy at
. I
like the short examples with sound effects.

Since we're closing in on Halloween, you might also try Mystery Play
Internet Radio http://www.mystery-otr.net. I'm listening to "Scary Old Time
Radio Episode One" right now. Their clever disclaimer: "If you frighten
easily turn off your mp3 player NOW!" :-)

Radio broadcasts found on CD and tape help students "see" what just a
reading can be like and how much can be portrayed through just the sounds
they hear.
