Grade 6 · Writing · Lesson 28

Record a short opinion podcast

A podcast is an audio program that listeners stream or download. An opinion podcast lets you share your viewpoint with a wide audience using your voice rather than a printed page. Because listeners cannot re-read what you said, every sentence must be clear, well-ordered, and engaging the first time they hear it.
