The New York Times' Project Audio is a great resource for educators wanting to "merge project-based learning with digital media analysis and production skills." In 2018, the newspaper released its first-ever student podcast contest along with a series of lesson plans for teachers to use when introducing students to the podcast experience. The lesson plans guide students through analyzing storytelling, interviewing, and podcasting techniques. By the end of this mini unit, students will be able to create a five-minute podcast.
