ENGL 15: Creating a “Year in Review” Retrospective Podcast and Video
Dr. Peter Froehlich and Dr. Maggie Froehlich assign one podcast and one video in their four sections of English 15 taught at Hazleton.
The podcast is a podcast narrative highlighting a year in American history (post 1945) of the students choosing. For the video, the students were put into groups by era (e.g. the early 1990s) to create a 10-minute video narrative based on their combined years.
