Radio Drama Streaming

 

WAMU Public Radio - This site is great.  I found a radio program about “Stories of Love and Altruism” told by three famous storytellers.  These stories could be used in any English classroom to supplement lessons on speech and communication, short stories, and nonfiction.  Besides this program’s usefulness in supplementing curriculum the stories could make great discussions for lessons and writing assignments focusing on morals and character development.  http://www.wamu.org/programs/kn/04/01/01.php

 

 

Music of a Historical Period

 

Take a Musical Trip to the 1930’s – In almost all courses, in all grades, teachers talk about the Depression Era.  This time period had a huge impact on the world we live in today from economics to family values.  The people and way of life are depicted through the music coming from the 1930’s.  5/28/05  http://lp2cd.com/time/30s.htm
