A School in the Coulee Podcast http://wiki.lacrosseschools.org/groups/couleekids/ The Coulee Kids' Podcast is brought to you by seventh grade students in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It takes cooperative skills, technology expertise, and solid content knowledge to create each academic segment. This unique, middle school podcast provides a window into the world of adolescents as we showcase student work from language arts, social studies, science, and math. The Coulee Kids invite you to experience what is important to teens today!

Our classes went to see the author of THREE CUPS OF TEA, Greg Mortenson, and we heard how his organization was making a difference for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan by building schools and equipping them with educational supplies. In the process, we studied current news topics of the Greater Middle East and learned that children who are educated about health issues are less likely to die of disease, and kids who can read and write are less likely to become involved in terrorist activities. We felt that by helping to build a school in this area of the world, we could touch other kids’ lives and make a big difference in our world. We organized a penny drive at both our school and a local elementary school, State Road. This podcast was something we created to share with other kids so that they too can make a difference in our world.

We went on a bus trip to Goose Island Park, located in the Coulee Region, equipped with a camera, our imagination, and a creative eye. We had already learned about basic photographic composition, and our assignment was to look for strange acts of nature that caused us to wonder. It was an enjoyable day that sparked our enthusiasm for writing.

During language arts class, we started the writing process by brainstorming and sharing our photos and wonders. Our teachers interjected lessons on word choice and how to revise our work as we worked through the entire writing process. When all of our stories had been approved, we learned about how to use enunciation, expression, pacing, and rhythm to keep the audience hooked

Dazzled by our creativity, the podject leaders flipped our projects into podcasts.

A Frog Dissection The Coulee Kids have been studying amphibians. These unique creatures live a “double life” as they rely on the land and the water to grow from an egg to a tadpole to a froglet to an adult frog. Because amphibians depend so heavily on land and water for survival, they are excellent ecological indicators telling us if something is right or wrong with our environment.

As we explored further into the Phylum Chordata, we found out that frogs and humans aren’t so different than we originally predicted. Actually, they have very similar body systems with comparable organs and tissues as we have in our human body.

In this Coulee Kids podcast, you will hear about each frog body system and its correlating forms and functions. You will see a close-up Proscope photo of our frog dissection, which allowed us to closely examine each system first hand.

To add a clever literary twist to our scientific study, we added interjections, oh my, and appositives, phrases which clarify the noun. This was an enjoyable challenge to bring together both language arts skills and science knowledge.

It is their dedication to our freedoms and rights, which makes us proud to be Americans! We wanted to thank our soldiers, but we weren’t sure what to say in our letters. Ben, one of the kids in our class, asked his dad to come speak to us. Ron is a member of the Wisconsin National Guard, and since he visited us, he has been called to active duty in Iraq.

When Ron talked to our class, he mentioned that when he was in Iraq last time, he enjoyed hearing about what was going on at home. He said the every day things that we take for granted, like the snow and sleet that fell last night, the mayoral race, or just what we did over the weekend were all topics that soldiers would enjoy hearing about. He stressed the importance of using correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in our correspondence. This gave us an idea. If we put our letters and thoughts into a podcast, we could not only write to the military personnel that the Coulee Kids’ students know and love, but to every soldier!

This podcast is for YOU! Let us entertain you with these news flashes from La Crosse, Wisconsin. Each podcast section will be a page-turner, whether it is sports, weather, entertainment, the latest movie releases, or just giving you a glimpse into our hometown news.

Thank you to all of the military men and women who serve our country. We are proud of you!

In a live poetry slam, it is the audience’s obligation to respond to the poet in some way whether clapping, cheering, booing, or snapping their fingers. We are asking for a virtual response, but since we are kids, only positive responses please. Who knows, your comments may show up in our next podcast! If you would like to respond, call us at 1-612-241-6109. A recording will be made of your voice and sent to our email address as a quicktime file. Keep in mind, our teacher will review all messages before sharing!

We consider our program a cross between the Prairie Home Companion and Saturday Night Live. We are reading a novel much like the community of Lake Wobegon called the GIVER by Lois Lois Lowry. Both are considered perfect places to live, but we believe differently! For this podcast, we determined one thing we could do to change our own future and make our world a better place to live for everyone. Cause and effect relationships were also taken into account, as we all know that making one change is can impact everything else in the world. We hope to entertain you as we enlighten you about our city of 2015 and the potential for positive change in our own world. no Is It Just A Box? - Coulee Home Companion Fri, 24 Feb 2006 14:08:18 -0600 is-it-just-a-box Put on your seventh grade humor hat as you listen to the Coulee Home Companion, a future-age variety show.
