For my podcast I want to discuss the sociopolitical issues that are refelected in the children's book The Wump World. This book addresses how our society often destroys the Earth without much concern for the future and the impact that it has not only on our society but on others that share the Earth with us. It is also interesting to investigate the issue of class as the society that is not destroying their planet is viewed as less intelligent than those who come and ruin the bounty that was once there. This may be similiar to how civilizations that live more grounded in the needs of the land are looked down upon as savages and forced into certain regions, while those destroy are actually often viewed as creators.
In terms of actually recording the podcast I am going to look into the equipment that Katzen has as a resource for students because I know they have recording devices that would probably be capable.
Excellent. Looks like you are all set. Wump World would be a great text to use for this assignment. Have you thought about how you might organize your ideas for the podcast?
ReplyDeleteSince you have Katzen resources you could get as creative as you'd like. Have fun.
