This resource has the potential to be highly effective if fleshed out more. There are many clear components missing that would allow a teacher to pick up this resource and quickly adapt it to their classroom. For instance, this is a lengthy homework assignment that some students may struggle with. There may need to be some class time devoted to completing this assignment. Do students have a choice to either do the podcast or thematic essay? How will students be paired if they are working collaboratively? What scaffolds are in place for students that may struggle to do this at home? These are just a few questions that I had.
