The Imperial – Week 4 activity (Podcast recording)

This week’s activity is for students (and teachers if they like) to create a MP3 recording of The Imperial. Students can then listen to their ‘favourite’ bedtime story at home and/or whilst travelling to/from school to consolidate their understanding of the case study.

• Have a go at recording yourself reading the case study – this might take you several attempts but you’ll get to know the case study very quickly this way!You can use any recording device such as an iPad, smartphone or free online software such as Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)
• You could do this in small groups for a bit more fun.
• Alternatively, you could use free software to record the text to audio for you (but that’s clearly less fun!) A useful free download can be found at Natural Readers: www.naturalreaders.com/ or Verbose: www.nch.com.au/verbose/vbsetup.exe
• Listen to your podcast – this should prove useful whilst ‘on the go’ to/from school and is ideal for auditory learners.
• The Imperial case study might even become your ‘favourite bedtime story’!

Have fun doing this!
