Series 3 | Lesson 10
Creators | Ben McKenzie & Tamala Shelton
Getting lost in the pages of a book is wonderful. But there are lots of ways we can enjoy stories - reading them is just one way! In this lesson, Ben and Tamala will explain - just what is Audio Fiction?
This lesson explores the world of audio fiction, and introduces students to some alternate forms of storytelling and reading. They will explore different kinds of audio stories, from podcasts to audiobooks and radio plays, and will be encouraged to use their library to discover and engage with different story forms.
Resources include lesson plans for middle and upper primary students, each with their own activities and supporting resources.
