    It's May 26, 2021, and you're listening to another episode of Casady Voices, featuring interviews by sixth grade students of family members and friends at Casady School in Oklahoma City. Hello and welcome to the first of two spring 2021 trimester podcast collections of 6th grade family oral history interviews. My name is Dr. Wesley Fryer, and I have the privilege of teaching required Media Literacy courses to all our 5th and 6th grade students at Casady School in Oklahoma City. This year as part of our 6th Grade Computer class, which lasts 1 trimester, students learned how to conduct short oral history interviews. The interviews you are about to hear range in duration from about a minute to almost 8 minutes long, and address topics including memories from childhood and lessons learned during the past year of the COVID19 global pandemic. We're going to hear from JohnLuke, Derin, Ella, Mason McAllister, Roshan, Max, Bote, Fahim, Drew, Emory, and Amelia, interviewing siblings, parents, an uncle, and grandparents. You can listen to more student oral history interviews as well as interviews with our faculty and staff on our Anchor podcast channel, on anchor.fm/casady. You can learn more about our media literacy class and access our units and lessons by visiting mdtech.casady.org. Thanks so much for listening… now let's get on to the student interviews!

    In fall 2019, Casady School 10th grader Andrew created a wonderfully complex and innovative game as his culminating project for his study of the Old English Poem Beowulf. In this 27 minute interview, Andrew describes his game and how it connected to the themes as well as historical, cultural context of Beowulf. 10th grade English teacher, Dr. Bonnie Gerard, explains project expectations and how Andrew found a very creative way to blend his understanding of game theory, mathematics and probability, with the themes of both Beowulf as well as "honor" in Scandinavian culture to demonstrate his mastery of the unit's goals and objectives.
