This will be a weekly podcast that may include overviews, lectures, reviews, and other "extra's" to help students be more successful in Language Arts. Students will also use podcasting to record book reviews that will help other students to make positive reading selections throughout the school year. Please NOTE! You can listen to podcasts two different ways: downloading the file to your computer or simply clicking the play button and listening to the podcast via streaming. Tracy L.
