Last year, a group of Roosevelt Teachers wrote a PTO grant for the Roosevelt Recording Studio. The Roosevelt Recording Studio is similar to an authentic production studio. Roosevelt’s Recording Studio would is complete with dedicated equipment including a tripod, a digital camera, a green screen wall, a microphone, and a computer for editing and publishing. The studio provides educational opportunities that embellish curricular content while increasing student motivation and engagement.
The ELA Common Core State Standards are inherently targeted within the learning objectives of the Roosevelt Recording Studio – specifically as they relate to anchor standards cited in Reading-Informational Text, Language, Writing, Speaking and Listening .
Students, or Roosevelt Reporters, will participate in activities including, but not limited to, the following –
- Paraphrasing main ideas from grade-level articles on current events.
- Developing a Kid-News script based on a close reading of online source materials – articles from Time for Kids, Scholastic News, etc.
- Practicing oral reading fluency skills by rereading for the purpose of incorporating expression and performing.
- Learning and practicing production skills related to imovie software (uploading, editing, using a green screen and layering backdrops related to content).
The studio is already up and running for the school year! We've had various classrooms already recording in the recording studio, and many teacher including in their upcoming plans. We also just recently received a grant from Donor's Choose to add two new cameras to our recording studio! Hopefully we'll be able to start posting some examples on this page.
Thank you so much to the Roosevelt PTO for making the Roosevelt Recording Studio a possibility for our students!
