Podcast Assignment

Podcast Assignment
This podcast is an introduction to a research project about Ellis Island.  The podcast is a brief time line on the history of Ellis Island and the experiences of the immigrants coming through Ellis Island.  ESL students can listen to the podcast to get an idea of what it was like to be an immigrant coming through Ellis Island, and take notes on some of the major events or people in the podcast.  The podcast and the notes they take can be used as an outline to begin their research.  This software is especially helpful for more auditory learners as well as reinforcing listening comprehension for ESL students.
