Week 5 Objectives:
By the end of this week students will have:

 * learned how to record a podcast, paying attention to language use
 * been tested on reading comprehension (Reading Taks 1)
 * added new vocabulary to their glossary pages in the Collaborative Wiki

**Tuesday: First Hour:**

 * 1.** Do you remember the audio commercials (Display ad) you designed last week? Well, today you will be creating a [|podcast] for your audio-commercial. Follow the steps suggested in the Newsletter below, so you'll end up with a well written and recorded text. Pay attention to your teacher's corrections and suggestions! The idea with SitePal is that you get to know text-to-speech and learn how to use it in order to practice pronunciation.




 * 2.** Put on your headphones and listen to your [|teacher's message] on SitePal



Then, watch this  [|video-tutorial], to see how you can use [|SitePal] to practice the pronunication of the texts you'll use in your ad. Remember that the idea with SitePal is that you get to know text-to-speech and learn how to use it in order to practice pronunciation before recording any of your podcasts.
 * 3.** Once you have followed all the steps explained above, you are ready to create your own podcast at Podomatic.
