Ms. Vernon’s 8th Grade students utilized podcasting in order to increase comprehension and writing skills using the novel Copper Sun by Sharon Draper. There is a particularly dramatic scene in the story about slavery, where the outsiders come to the African village and kidnap the members of the tribe.
