By the end of class my partner, Chris and I saw how reading a speech can be difficult. Not difficult because of the reading itself but difficult to read because of its importance and wanting it to be perfect. Although we did not finish the speech and we have more podcasting to do, it was a good experience even though we made many mistakes. I think the biggest plus for us today was making those mistakes gave us more time to read over the speech and disect the meaning of some of the things that were said. Going into the project both of us knew that it was a powerful speech and that it would be an interesting lesson but the podcasting has brought a new dynamic to the process. Most importantly, we are having fun and learning at the same time, not only about history but also about each other.
