Assign a Podcast to Your Students

Once you find a podcast, you have two options to share with students: Create a customized written assignment or assign a multiple choice quiz.

Written Assignment

Quiz

Written Assignment:

These assignments are open-ended and can include the content available on the Assignment Resources tab of a lesson such as organizers, comprehension questions, and a writing prompt (which can be automatically analyzed by the Writing Assessor). You can customize the assignment resources or make multiple versions based on your students’ needs.

This option is available on every Listenwise lesson. From the upper right-hand corner of the page, click Create Assignment on the story to set up your assignment.  For more help on creating a written assignment, see this section of the support site.

Quiz:

These assignments are multiple choice, auto-graded, and test specific comprehension skills (i.e. Main Idea and Inferencing). You can decide which comprehension skill(s) to assess: Listening, Reading, or Listening & Reading. See here for more details. 

Quizzes are not available on every Listenwise stories, but you'll find quizzes on most Gen Ed and ELD lessons. If there is a quiz on a story, click the Assign Quiz to share with students in the upper right-hand corner of the page. For more help with quizzes, see this section of the support site.
