After our 4th graders researched the Texas Cattle Drive, they collaborated to write, perform, and record their own podcasts from the point of view of cowboys on the drive. Students tied in their background knowledge from previously having read The Tale of Despereaux (connecting a hero’s journey) and their own 4th grade journey.
Today, 4th graders proudly worked as docents guiding visitors through their immersive exhibit. As visitors scanned QR codes to listen to the podcasts, they were able to admire the murals the students had created to represent this period in time.
