This is a project that will combine the internet, wiki's, podcasts, and English class. If you haven't been able to experience these four things together than you haven't lived ☺ Prior to reading //Of Mice and Men//, you and your group members will be given topics that will give you the necessary background information you need in order to fully comprehend the text. The different topics will let everyone see the book from a different point of view and with different background knowledge.
 * Introduction:**

• Create a podcast with sound, pictures, music etc… on your topic. • Develop a wiki space that will contain the podcast that you created on your topic. • The wiki site should also have information and questions on the topic. (This should be a supplement to your podcast information) • Submit a “study guide” with questions for assessment
 * Task:**

1. You will be broken into groups of 2, 3, or 4. 2. A topic will be assigned to you by Mrs. Gordon. 3. Gather resources, pictures, music etc… for your topic 4. Post information pertaining to your topic on your wiki page. 5. Develop a script for your podcast 6. Create a podcast on your topic 7. Post the podcast on your wiki page. 8.
