It's time for Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day in college wrestling. Did you know 15 years ago, Kyle Klingman and I launched our very first podcast called Wrestling 411. Yup, now over 3,000 episodes later, I'm still trying to figure this out. In Blacksburg, the raucous crowd at Cassell Coliseum was silenced both early and late as the eighth-ranked Buckeyes topped the fifth-ranked Hokies 24-12. The biggest win came at the jump as Brendan McCrone majored All-American Eddie Ventresca 11-3 at 125 pounds. With Ventresca leading in the second period, McCrone countered Ventresca to his back, picking up a seven point move and went from trailing 3-2 to up 9-3. Isaac Wilcox used a third-period takedown to upend Connor Brady 6-5 in a pivotal swing bout. Ryder Rogotzke's dual meet debut at 184 pounds was a big one as the 2023 Junior Schalles Award winner scored his fifth fall of the year over Sam Fisher. Two freshmen Buckeyes - Luke Geog and Nick Feldman - would take wins over ranked opponents to close out the win for Tom Ryan's squad. The Hokies did pick up three notable ranked wins - Caleb Henson beat Dylan D'Emilio at 149, Bryce Andonian beat high school teammate Paddy Gallagher at 157 and Mekhi Lewis beat Carson Kharchla at 174. Ninth-ranked Nebraska rolled past Campbell 37-4 in Lincoln. The Huskers earned six bonus victories and saw a stellar return from Peyton Robb at 157 pounds after his freak infection that nearly cost him his leg last offseason. The Huskers two best wins came at the first two weights as Lenny Pinto edged Caleb Hopkins 6-5 at 184 and Silas Allred beat Levi Hopkins 11-6 at 197 pounds. At Gallagher-Iba Arena, Oklahoma State won nine of 10 to top visiting Bucknell 38-6. The only stumble came at 174 pounds, where Oklahoma State injury defaulted late in the first period after an apparent hamstring injury from Brayden Thompson. Daton Fix and Dustin Plott each scored falls, while Troy Spratley at 125 and Luke Surber at 197 earned techs. Three straight bonus victories for Indiana at 174, 184 and 197 helped pull the host Hoosiers past upset-minded Rider 27-15 at historic Assembly Hall on Friday. Trailing 15-10, D.J. Washington picked up a technical fall over Mike Wilson, then transfer Roman Rogotzke pinned Isaac Dean in the third period at 184 pounds, the second big fall of the night for the Rogotzke family at the weight class. Up 21-16, Gabe Sollars slammed the door on Rider with a second-period fall over Azeem Bell at 197. Rider's top win came at 149 pounds, where Quinn Kinner knocked off Graham Rooks, who's ranked in the top 10 in most, if not all, of the rankings. Ned Shuck and the Bellarmine Knights opened up with a 49-0 win over Division II Kentucky Wesleyan Friday night in Louisville. Word is they got a pretty boisterous crowd down there for Coach Shuck. Out west, Wyoming rolled past host CSU Bakersfield 40-3. The Cowboys got falls from Riley Davis at 174 pounds and Paolo Salminen at 157 pounds. In Division III, TCNJ beat Wilkes 35-11 and we'll keep with the acronym theme as Muhlenberg beat NJCU 38-7. Arizona Christian won four duals - beating Division II New Mexico Highlands 25-20, Simpson (Calif.) 40-15 and a pair of California Junior Colleges - Cerritos 46-9 and Sierra College 52-0 at the Mile High Duals in Prescott, Arizona, hosted by Embry-Riddle. Elsewhere in the NAIA, Dakota Wesleyan beat Ridgewater of the NJCAA 32-15. Good number of Junior Colleges were in action at the Mile High Duals and around the country as well. North Idaho beat Ellsworth 49-0 and Southeast, again, the one in Nebraska, 35-6. Southeast beat Ellsworth 30-19. Back in Prescott, Snow beat Cerritos 41-10, NAIA Embry-Riddle 24-22, and Sierra 53-0. On the women's side, Life picked up home wins over Hastings and Marymount at home before hosting Eagle Madness in Marietta on Saturday. Remember, these aren't all the scores, but it's a lot of them.

With 42 years of experience, as a retired Administrative Officer I researched Mark Twain's assertion "Age is an issue of mind over matter," If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.” highlighting the merging of nature and culture in shaping values, beliefs, and practices started a new chapter for me. This nuance has activated  my cognition into thinking that nature and culture merge, influencing values, beliefs, norms, practices, livelihoods, knowledge, and languages. This is a theory which  has motivated me to preserve Barbados' culture through the use of photographic images and text and make sense of abstract reality. This tool enabled me to make sense of the world in terms of ideas by research and reasoning process to the extent that  I am now the first Barbadian author to self-publish 312 Cultural Books 28 of which are Cultural Novels. According to academia.edu my books are impacting global citizens in 147 countries, 1,532 cities, and 718 international universities between 1995-2022.  Academia.edu  also  invited me to review academic letters.  According to Buzzsprout https://www.buzzsprout.com/429292 My 174 podcasts, translated into Finn, Spanish, and Ukraine language, impact global citizens in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania, and featured on 24 international platforms between 2019 and 2023. I must confess cognitive thinking certainly enhanced my understanding and decision-making, influencing my personal growth as a cultural theoretician, license cultural practitioner, as a Barbadian author with 312 E-Publications. My Recent Books are an anthology consisting of six volumes, 108 chapters, 246 pages, and a podcast with 174 episodes.This photo essay showcases 124 images of nature in Barbados' cultural landscape, including animals, art, artefacts, beach scenes, flowers, historical buildings, monuments, people, plants, rugged coastal lines, and sunsets.This philosophy has significantly influenced my method of capturing and framing nature images within the cultural landscape of Barbados are presented to various stakeholders, including the National Cultural Foundation, Minister of Culture, Department of Archives, and Library Services. I am currently writing publication 313titled "Doctrine Is Part of The Christian Culture," ISBN978-976-97146-9-4 which delves into the qualities, times, places, and people of the Christian culture.Let me close with a letter penned by Dr. Sue Henderson, former President of New Jersey City University, “Dear Mr. Gittens Thank you for sharing the impressive work you are doing.

The NeoLiberal Round
Does Biden's Student Loan Debt-Relief Go Far Enough? Are the GOP Pharisaical? Ft. Ricardo McKenzie

The NeoLiberal Round

President Joe Biden announced Wednesday he will provide $20,000 in debt relief to Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 for many other borrowers. Question: Does the student loan debt relief go far enough to relief a crippling middle class? And are the GOP hypocritical, as many have received MILLIONS IN PPP loans that were forgiven? My twin brother join me on this episode to explore this. Ricardo is a senior executive at Flatrate Moving an International logistics, transportation, storage and moving company based in NYC. Ricardo is also the Chairman of McKenzie and McKenzie and an executive board member of the Neoliberal Corporation who is a former licensed Financial Advisor and Mortgage and Loan Officer. Ricardo hold a Masters in HR and is a SHRM professional. Ricardo holds a bachelors in Marketing and Finance from Rutgers and NJCU and has worked at the senior levels in the corporate world. Ricardo obtained student loans in order to finance his degrees. He joins us in segment 2 of the episode. In the opening segments I introduce the episode and share an audio from a press briefing from the White House earlier today with National Economic Council Advisor Bharat Ramamurti. Note: Who qualifies for Biden's student loan forgiveness?  According to Medora Lee of USA Today: “Undergraduate and graduate students are expected to receive forgiveness of up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers making under $125,000 a year or couples making less than $250,000 a year. Private loans will not be forgiven”, (see https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/08/25/how-is-student-loan-debt-forgiven/7884574001/). How to get student loan forgiveness? Lee states in her USA Today article that: “The Education Department said nearly 8 million borrowers are likely to have their loans forgiven automatically because the agency already has information about their income”, (see https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/08/25/how-is-student-loan-debt-forgiven/7884574001/).

If you are a regular listener of this show, this name should sound familiar. Bobby chatted with Shawn in the wake of the murder of George Floyd to talk about race in this country. This interview you are about to listen to was one of the first face-to-face interviews Bobby recorded for this podcast back in January before COVID sent the interviews to Zoom. When hired for his current role at NJCU, Shawn Tucker joined an elite club as one of the youngest athletic directors in NCAA Division III at 33 years old. What's more, Shawn is the first African-American athletic director in NJCU history, the seventh ever in New Jersey Athletic Conference history and the only current minority in the league to hold the position. Shawn and Bobby met before he got to NJCU, when he was the Associate Athletic Director for Student Athlete Development at Rutgers University. In this role he had lead the Rutgers Leadership Academy, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Rutgers Athletics Internship Program and R Care. Shawn assisted in launching R Care—which is a program dedicated to providing a comprehensive wrap-around care and communication system in the areas of academic support, sports medicine, sports performance and the RLA. Outside of work Shawn is the executive director of A.LIFE Ministry—the young adult and college campus ministry at Rutgers University and Abundant Life Family Worship Church in New Brunswick, NJ. With A-Life Shawn manages a leadership team of 30 ministry leaders who conduct weekly bible study sessions, small group discussions, discipleship classes and community group activities. He helped establish the ministry into a 501c3 in 2017. As a college athlete Shawn Tucker was a four-year standout and three-year starter at wide receiver for Rutgers and was named team captain as a senior in 2006 when he helped lead the Scarlet Knights to its first of four consecutive football bowl championships in 2006. Shawn served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Athletes in Action (AIA) Student Leadership Team. In this interview we cover all things from Shawn’s professional journey, to how he serves student-athletes to his personal passion of ALIFE Ministry.

She received her Bachelor of Arts in 2013 and is currently involved in teaching art classes and being an art educator. Her work has been exhibited throughout New Jersey, New York City and Philadelphia, Pa. She believes art is a never-ending learning process. Artists collect experience through their life in comprehending their relationship with their chosen medium. As an artist, She believes intricateness is the most essential fragment in a creation. "As the details compute in my mind I trust my hands to physically make the establishments of those details. The thoughts of the details of my artwork don't occur overnight, it occurs within being part of the experience of the self". As a first-generation Salvadoran American, she has always questioned the diaspora of her Salvadoran culture and being a Latina. Her inspiration in her artwork leads from this, which she includes Latinx inspired symbolism into her sculptures and paintings. She believes what drove her into becoming an artist was learning about her family background. Her grandfather was a guitarist and a photographer and her grand uncle was an artist in El Salvador. She began drawing at the age of eight. "Since I was a child, my mind has always been filled with endless imagination. I am a painter, sculptor, and aspiring art educator. I always believe that art is a never-ending journey of experience and learning."

I've been fine tuning my thinking and work with Universal Design for Learning for about a decade now--and that's after 15 years of wrestling with the ideas, though without formally calling it UDL.Below are 10 'cases in UDL' that I developed and have used in professional development and training.  They are 'ripped from today's headlines' as they are composites and tweaked examples of classroom innovations that I have actually seen.  Use the 9 UDL Guidelines from CAST and identify the top 3 for each. Here they are (more details here): 1.         Provide options for perception            2.         Provide options for language, mathematical expressions, and symbols            3.         Provide options for comprehension            4.         Provide options for physical action            5.         Provide options for expression and communication            6.         Provide options for executive functions            7.         Provide options for recruiting interest            8.         Provide options for sustaining effort and persistence            9.         Provide options for self-regulation            Identify the Three Most Salient UDL Guidelines in Each Case using the numbers 1-9. Case 1: Household Vocabulary . UDL Guidelines _,________________________________ Ms. Fernandez teaches Spanish. She is introducing students to the “vocabulary of the household.” She gives students a list of vocabulary words and four different options—draw a diagram, create a short skit, write a poem, or create a comic—each must include the set of household vocabulary words. Case 2: Unlike Denominators UDL Guidelines ________________________________ Mr. Kouse teaches a mathematics class. He notices that many students have problems adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. He gets a bunch of pebbles and puts them in plastic mixing cups and demonstrates adding amounts with unlike denominators (e.g. 1/4 of a cup and 3/8 of a cup). He sets this up as a station and rotates groups of students through as other groups do different activities. Case 3: Enacting Novels UDL Guidelines ____________________________________ Mrs. Fodole teaches tenth-grade English. When reading novels and short stories, she notices that many students get confused when characters are speaking to each other. Students are unfamiliar with the conventions of dialogue in prose. She takes small excerpts from the book and has the students write and act scripts from these sections. The students exchange their scripts and enact the scenes. Case 4: Feedback on Cards UDL Guidelines _____________________________________ Ms. Baer is reviewing the scientific method in the Intro to Science Class. Whenever she lectures for more than 5 minutes, she gives the students index cards with Y on one side and N on the other. Before she moves on to a new concept or idea she asks the kids if they understand and makes them all indicate by showing the Y or the N side of the card. Sometimes she re-teaches it another way, or other times she addresses student questions one at a time. She aloes creates a short action plan for each student to help them better attend and participate during lectures. Case 5: Historic Tours UDL Guidelines ___________________________________ Mr. Harrigan teaches American History. The students were asked to prepare a ‘tour’ of a public place that is important to them. The tour can be a brochure, audio recording, public presentation. The teacher gives examples of each format. They can choose the place (a park, a street, a restaurant). They need to include the history of this place as well as interviews with people who have experiences at this place. As the students brainstorm and draft their tours, the teacher includes suggestions to make the tour more interesting to potential tourists. Case 6: Figurative Language Contract UDL Guidelines _____________________________________ Mrs. Jones teaches ESL and is working on figurative language. She has 7 activities relating to figurative language. She believes that students can do 4 of them to demonstrate mastery. Each student must fill out a contract and indicate which 4 they will do. The students keep a checklist and their work in a separate folder. Each day for the week Mrs. Jones will consult with students on their progress through the checklist and contract, giving help and modifying the contract as needed. Case 7: Pictures and Labels UDL Guidelines _____________________________________ Mrs. Sibli teaches Biology. During the lab she notices that many students have trouble remembering the terms for the equipment. Traditionally, students would have to pass a test on these terms before they began labs, but she worries that that would take too long for this group of students. On the written lab directions she inserts images of the pieces of equipment, and on the equipment she places tags and labels with the names. Case 8: Cheat Sheet UDL Guidelines _______________________________ Ms. Anderson teaches chemistry. When she covers ionic and covalent bonds, she notices that students have trouble remembering major relationships of the concepts and definitions. In the textbook there is a full chapter of important information. She created a one page “Cheat Sheet” that she gives to every student and had them staple inside of their notebook. She also keeps a few laminated copies on her desk for kids who ‘forget’ theirs. Case 9: EROX Learning System UDL Guidelines ______________________________________ EROX is an adaptive learning system to help with math. The system consists of assessments, practice problems, and tutorials that are customized to the characteristics of the learner. A student will practice a skill. If she is proficient, she will move on to the next skill. If the student is not proficient, she will practice with ‘hints’ or see a video of a solution method. The student’s home screen is a pie chart with segments of the different skills that show how much h of each skill they have mastered. The goal is for students to autonomously organize their time and resources to appropriately achieve their goal. Case 10 Remixing Fables with Speech to Text UDL Guidelines ____________________________ Ms. Garcia is a 3rd Grade language arts teacher. Part of the curriculum is for kids to write their own fables. Some students have difficulty with both handwriting and keyboarding., so she has installed a speech to text program on several of the computers. So although all students will produce a written document, they have options for physically getting the words to paper. Some students have trouble ‘beginning from scratch’, she has given kids a list of fable beginnings, characters, settings, scenarios, and morals, and encourages students to choose and remix these critical features and big ideas while adding their own words at ideas at the computer stations. Answers (of course, there can be very good cases for different answers, but even that activity of disagreeing with these 'answers' is a healthy exercise). Case 1: Household Vocabulary UDL Guidelines _3,5,7,_____________ Case 2: Unlike Denominators UDL Guidelines __2,3,4,___________ Case 3: Enacting Novels UDL Guidelines _____2,4,6,__________ Case 4: Feedback on Cards UDL Guidelines ___5,8,9,________________ Case 5: Historic Tours UDL Guidelines ___5,7,8,__________ Case 6: Figurative Language Contract UDL Guidelines __5,8,9,_____________ Case 7: Pictures and Labels UDL Guidelines ___1,2,3___________ Case 8: Cheat Sheet UDL Guidelines ___1,3,8___________ Case 9: EROX Learning System UDL Guidelines ______6, 8, 9_____________ Case 10 Remixing Fables with Speech to Text UDL Guidelines ___3, 4, 7________

What makes a good educational game? This semester I included a section on games and game design in my authoring tools course, a graduate level course in the Educational Technology MA.  It's the first time for this unit, so I was interested in how it was going to go, and I kept the parameters and assessment loose.   I'm very happy with the work, and I hope many of the students continue with their games.   As I review the students' work I' have made some observations on what would make a good educational game:Fable Table: A game where students create fables from remixing elements of existing stories.The game cannot simply be an assessment (any Jeopardy-like game is a nonstarter).  At its best, the game should teach something, not just reinforce.The game should give a kids with a variety of subject area knowledge a chance to be engaged. e.g. it doesn't reward kids for what they came into class with.The game mechanic should be the message. i.e. the skill, habit, knowledge should be baked into the game play.Engaging and funSimple instructionsLow barrier to entryTry to avoid a zero-sum/winner-take-all objective The element of luck helps to move the game from an assessment and gives kids with different abilities a fighting chance at engagement, dice, wild cards, switches, and reversals.Competitive games that have a strong assessment element just reinforce traditional teaching and reward the advanced students and stigmatize the struggling students.I must admit that I was a skeptic to games in education.  For every student who loves Monopoly, there's one who hates it.  However, there's something about the 'timelessness' of games that makes me respect them too.  Almost every civilization has used them for teaching, culture, and socialization. Here's the actual assignment:**********Develop a Game Games have been defined as: “One or more causally linked series of challenges in a simulated environment” --Adams and Rollings “A system in which players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable outcome.”-- Salen and Zimmerman You will design a board game, a card game, video game, online game, a web-based game (not a webquest).   Game Criteria Your game should have: A worthwhile objective for playing the game. This is not the objective of winning the game, but the objective of playing the game…e.g. the game objective of SuperBetter is to score a certain number of points but the objective of playing the game is to get mentally and/or physically healthy.Inviting and low-barrier to entry (invite people to continue once they start and increasingly challenge them them as  they continue) 3-6 core mechanics (main, important actions a player does).  “The mechanic is the message” Increasing challenge RulesFeel free to think of an existing game and modify it.   Your game should have a short explanation (3-4 pages) and a working model.

Creative Constraints and Teaching

According to The Design Council, six 8-studded Lego blocks can be put into over 900 million different combinations.  The core of the issue is this:  when you tell most people to 'be creative' on demand, they'll freeze. When you give them 3 crayons, 6 legos, or 17 syllables, they'll make something interesting.   They'll learn, they'll think deeply, they'll get creative.This concept has been employed by playwrights, computer programers, architects, and CEOs.  It's worth looking at in detail. One feature of my work that I'm going to explore more is the concept of 'creative constraints'.  It's been a big but unspoken part of a lot of work that I do, including the six sounds project.  In the six sounds projects, participants get a short tutorial on audio editing, and then have to create a one minute story using six sounds (phone ring, engine, heart beat, match strike, splash, crickets). It's been a popular activity for ISTE, NJAET, and classrooms around the world.  I've heard comedies, dramas, sci-fi..and quite a few camping stories.  This goal of this isn't just to teach audio editing--but the power or remix, the power of people to take the same group of items and synthesize them into new kinds of creative blends.I've experienced this myself and used it in my teaching. However, I've only recently focused on the research behind this phenomenon--'creative constraints'The concept of creative constraints is that creativity and innovation are fostered not by complete freedom but by limits.In my research on creative constraints I've come across examples from poetry (Lehrer, 2011), computer engineering (Mayer), management, architecture (Sturt, 2013), and improvisational comedy (May, 2013).  It's also one of the fundamental principles of game design (see Salen and Zimmerman's seminal work The Rules of Play--the title tells the story).  Any time a concept is useful to playwrights, computer programmers, and CEOs, it should be taken note of.When people work within restrictions, they test boundaries, challenge assumptions, and innovate with a set of resources. One recent example of this in my work was when I was with a group of English teachers in Massachusetts.  They were struggling with teaching The Odyssey.  Kids were frustrated with the language and lost with the plot.  The textbook's emphasis on the historic background was not helping matters.   So, we brainstormed on the 'big ideas' of The Odyssey.   What ideas, language, knowledge and skills do you want kids to have from this?   We came up with the concept of a hero's exciting and serendipitous journey and the use, beauty and power of epic similes (similes and metaphor are some of the original remixes, IMHO).  We came up with the recipe for the 3-Minute Epic.The 3-Minute Epic employs filmmaking, remix, and creative constraints to engage students in these ‘big ideas’ of epic poetry.***********In the Three-Minute Epic students must create an adventure story with a set of ‘items’—particular images, sounds, and epic similes from The Odyssey. This can be a model for working with other literature or history topics.  They can use a variety of technology--from PowerPoint, Photostory, iMovie, or Final Cut Pro. However, sophisticated editing and technical skills are not one of our goals, so I would keep this as simple as possible (hint, PowerPoint).For Students:For this project you will create a three-minute digital story using existing language and media. It should be an adventure of a 'hero'. It is up to you to determine, and eventually explain, what is adventurous and heroic about your story.Your final project should have images, narration, and sound effects; music is optional.In your story, you need to use the following similes from the Odyssey. ( What kinds of experiences can these descriptions apply to?):...like some animal surrounded, dreading the gangs of hunters closing their cunning ring around him for the finish......like some lion of the wilderness that stalks about exulting in his strength and defying both wind and rain; his eyes glare as he prowls in quest of oxen, sheep, or deer, for he is famished, and will dare break even into a well fenced homestead......like an octopus, when you drag one from his chamber, comes up with suckers full of tiny stones......like a judge at the end of a day at court, who’s settled the countless suits of brash young claimants, rises, the day’s work done, and turns home for supper...You need to use the following images in your story:Boathttp://www.dragonflyranch.com/images/indexpicts/Boat-sunset.jpgStriking a Matchhttp://www.bushwhacker.ca/match.jpgYou need to use the following sound effects in your story:Beating Hearthttps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8tss6YIo6YvNTU5YTM1YjktYzA0OC00MmI1LTkzN2MtNTc1ZjM1YmI1NGZh/edit?usp=sharingChirping Cricketshttps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8tss6YIo6YvN2M5Nzc1MzEtYWU2Ny00YTljLTk4MWMtODQ1MzdkZDFlMmQx/edit?usp=sharingRulesIt must be between 2 and 3 minutesThere has to be a story with a beginning, plot, and conclusion (extra credit for starting "In Medias Res")You can cross genres and mix your epic with true life, drama, modern, comedy, detective, romance, action, fantasy, horror, scifi; the setting can be contemporary, historic, fantastic, etc.No profanity or use of personal informationIt can have characters and a narrator, just characters, or just a narrator.You can add images, sound effects, and narration, but you must use the quotes and media aboveYou can get pictures from the Web or use original images (e.g. a close up of a group member as the hero/villain)AssessmentStory is between 2-3 minutes (pass/fail)25% Plot Elements--story is entertaining and coherent with an engaging beginning, action throughout, and a clear conclusion.25% Mix--narration and media elements complement each other; audio is clear and read with appropriate tone20% Required Elements--all required media and quotes are used appropriately to tell a story; similes compare different things20% New Elements--new images, sound effects and music advance the story10% Hero and Adventure--each member of the group can explain why the main character is a hero and why the story is an adventure (odyssey, epic, etc.)References on Creative ContraintsLenrer, J.

Leave your Tone after the Beep

QuickstartThis is an activity to teach tone.  It connects to teaching writers how to use tone with different audiences and different purposes.For this activity, you will leave a short voice mail message (see items 1-18 below or make your own following the rules). The rules are--you are trying to set up a meeting at 9am on Friday with Michael and/or Jennifer Shelby (fictitious couple). You must create a scenario and leave a message with an appropriate tone. Use the comments feature on the VoiceThread video below. Your message should be shorter than 20 seconds or less than 75 words. You have to keep it clean and no 'real' personal information.You are required to leave an audio message, but feel free to add other comments in text. You cannot leave a message that has been left already (so please listen to all that are there). Here's the link to the full project. OverviewTone is a difficult concept to teach students even though it is one of the most fundamental aspects of our written and spoken communication. This activity will help students accurately characterize tone as readers and listeners as well as effectively use tone as writers and speakers. One reason tone is difficult to teach is because often students are formally introduced to tone when they are reading a challenging text and getting pushed for comprehension and fluency. This activity introduces tone in a way that connects the concept of tone to everyday situations and invests the students as readers, writers, and speakers of different tones. It can be done as a stand-alone activity or before or during the study of tone in a poem, short story, or novel.Activity: ReadingAll of the messages below are voice mails left for Jennifer and Michael Shelby. All of the messages request the same thing--a meeting for 9pm on Friday.1) From a boss who wants to see an employee who is chronically late. Michael, We need to meet. I’ll expect you in my office at 9am sharp on Friday morning.2) From a friend who wants to apologize. Oh, Jennifer. I really need to talk to you. I hope you’ll listen to me. Can we meet? Friday? Around 9 in the morning? I’ll bring the coffee.3) From a teacher who wants to see the parent of a student who seems troubled lately. Hello, Ms. Shelby. This is Mr. Ross, Johnny’s homeroom teacher. I was hoping we could meet. Your son is doing OK in class, but I was concerned about his mood lately and wanted to talk to you about it. Let me know if we can meet. Is 9am on Friday good for you? You can contact me on my cell 311 555-2368.4) From an aluminum siding salesman who wants to show a homeowner your product. Hello, Mr Shelby, I’m Ralph Bellabue from Armorall Siding. I’ve got a great new product—perfect for your house, and we’re running a sale this month. I’ll be in your neighborhood, and I’d love to stop by and give you some information that I think you’ll find valuable. Let me know if 9am on Friday is a good time for you. You can contact me at 311 555-2368.Think about these questions-- How would you describe the tone? How does the tone relate to the purpose and audience? * What words, phrases and punctuation convey the tone? How would you say each of the messages?Activity: Creating a MessageYou too want to set up a meeting at Friday at 9 am with "Jennifer" or "Michael," the fictional couple who we are communicating to. Again, The facts of this message will be the same—meeting, Friday, 9 am—but you must change your tone based on the situation. For this activity you will be leaving a voice mail. You do not have to give all of the information about the meeting on the recording….only enough to set up the meeting. You can make up details such as names and places. Just keep the message to less than 20 seconds/or 75 words. Think of the words, phrases, punctuation when you write and then the vocal inflections when you speak. This all creates your tone. Create a message for a 9 am Friday meeting based on these scenarios:5) You are a very wealthy adult who wants to surprise your mother and father (Jennifer and Michael) with the gift of a brand new car.6) You are a police detective who needs to interview a suspect in a major crime.7) You are a person who crashed into a parked car and now you have to call the owner (this is the right thing to do, and there were witnesses).9)You are a lawyer with some bad news for your client that you cannot say over the phone.10) You are a doctor with some great medical news for your patient that you cannot say over the phone.Creative BONUSHow would…11) A person in distress leave the message12) A lonely person leave the message13) A bitter person leave the message14) A surprised person leave the message15) An optimistic person leave the message16) A person who was infatuated leave the message17) An abrupt person leave the message18) An Apprehensive Person leave the messageAgain, feel free to make up details such as names, events, and places…but keeping the message under 20 seconds or less than 75 words.Write itRecord it (we are using Voicethread please use the comment feature to record your "voice mail") Note--many students can use help with vocabulary to subtly and accurately describe tone and emotions. You might want to discuss and define words that describe emotions and then have them create messages based on them. Several good lists of emotions can be found at Wikipedia

The following example was provided by Kate Mazzetti. It's an audio play based on an excerpt from Kafka's Metamorphosis. Turning a work of prose into a audio play is riddled with 'teachable moments'. Unlike Reader's Theater, the focus is not on prose fluency, so a faithful translation of the text is not required. This unit describes the creative decision a student should confront when transferring between print to audio. Decisions such as what information should be conveyed through dialogue? through narration? through sound effects? need to be made.Decisions on vocabulary need to be made as well. For example, in the text, the word 'fretwork' was used. Is it too obsolete to be understood and should it be replaced with 'wood work'? Should it be kept because it adds color and richness to the scene? Click to play play_blip_movie_2007526();
