  1. Hello Breanna,
    Your podcast has surely awaken my senses from beginning to the end. The description caused my jaw to drop as you made the event seemed so vividly live and real. I even felt like my lungs and eyes were also impacted from the dust in the video. Keep on writing! You have a strong supporter for your poetry here. Best wishes to you for the holidays as well.

    1. I love to see when others can experience the world from my point of view. It's almost like having a magic school bus moment! Ha! Although I have given up on my passion for writing, I must say thank you for the encouragement; and for joining my lovely podcast

  2. Hello Sandra
    I was truly entertained and engaged to the end by your podcast. I really enjoyed the humor. Somehow I am in disbelief that you may want to be a little bit shorter :-). I imagine that we, your readers, can look forward to reading about how you would imagine that experience to be. :-)

  3. Well done Sandra! Your piece was very nicely composed and the expressive narration and sound effects added to the overall effect for me. Nice use of figurative language as well. I see how all of these things worked quite well together to keep my interest from beginning to end.

    1. Thank you Ajee! I had fun doing this and I am totally enjoying the work of others. I haven't used the story jumper software in over 3 years as it was a tool a few classes used back then for presentation. Now that things are seemingly normalizing post covid, we all can incorporate all the tech tools we have at our disposal to allow our students to be authors of their own work! Luckily, at OKPS, each student has a device so with time this can add to the overall teaching and learning experience.

  4. Hello teacher Jeneva, I really enjoyed listening to your podcast. Your voice and tone was very calming and intriguing and the poem was very timely and motivating for us all to push through in this program. I commend you for taking on an acrostic poem as I honestly thought this would be the most difficult to craft in such a way that it captures the scope of the assignment. You did an excellent job of showing this was not the case! Well done. This can be used as a model in some of the upper grade levels when they are being introduced to acrostics.

    1. Thanks for reviewing my podcast and sharing your views. I actually mentioned to my instructor that you my fellow classmates and any other students, especially grade 6 students, could be the audience for my poem. So I am happy to hear from you that it was timely and motivating. As such, it will also serve to be the same for other members of my audience. Feel free to use it when you're teaching an upper grade :-)

  5. Hello Breanna, excellent description. You had my attention from the beginning of your piece to the end. You did a great job of appealing to the senses and using figurative language to make your poem vivid and captivating. Your tone helped with the overall effect for me as well. I really enjoyed listening to your podcast.

  6. Jeneva, your poem SUCCESS is really nice and fitting. The varying intonations in your voice, as I heard with all other colleagues are appealing and, in my opinion, keeps the readers interested. Great work!

  7. Hi Sandra, I truly enjoyed listening and reading your poetry piece. Throughout the poem, I was captivated by your tone of voice and sound effects. I particularly enjoyed the use of poetic devices such as personification, when you said, " the sun whisper come home it's time to lay you head". Overall, this poem was excellent and beautifully written.

  8. Jeneva, you did an excellent job, and I thoroughly enjoyed your poem. I can envision this poem painted on my bedroom wall to remind me of everything I would have to undergo in order to succeed. This poem is truly a success. Love it ❤️

    1. Hi Rhonda, I could not help but to giggle a bit with contentment to hear that you would post my poem in your bedroom. Feel free to do so :-). I think that is a good idea. Perhaps, I should sought to do the same. That way it would even remind me of the SUCCESS I achieved in creating this podcast for the first time. This too was a very interesting experience worth writing about in the future.

    2. Jeneva I agree with Rhonda. I can relate to your poem and what I have achieved not only from this course but all others we have done before. I have been challenged, in every way. I love creating my podcast first time thing for me. My mind was going into overload with ideas lol. I really enjoyed participating in this course

  9. @Sandra, this was quite an introspective poem. I have definitely had moments where I judged myself based on my outer appearance and inner attributes. As a short person, I like that your poem title immediately made me reflect on my own situation. This would make for a great discussion in the classroom. Moreover, I can see this poem being used in other subjects like HFLE to teach about acceptance. I enjoyed the visual of a book because it felt familiar-almost like turning the pages myself. The music selections and illustrations were captivating.

    1. Thank you Carina! Indeed the turning of the pages and the sound effects generated definitely gave the production a life-like feeling. Go ahead and integrate it into your HFLE lessons on self and be sure to tell me how the session was for you.

  11. Hi Breanna. Your podcast was quite entertaining. I enjoyed your descriptions. They tickled every one of my 5 senses. I even smiled and tried to inhale the scent of the fragrant mountainside flowers. The thought of unearthing that sense never occurred to me. Your visuals were a great aid.

    1. Thanks Keshia, I really hoped that my sound effects made up for the lack of my background audio. The two were conflicting with each other but in the end, it came out great!

  14. Sandra, great hook for your introduction! Very engaging poem, I enjoyed the sound effects, and visuals and you had me wondering how the world would be if I was a bit taller!

    1. Thank you Keshia. I actually had my one-year-old baby cousin view the production and she was captivated. I had to replay it over and over for nearly 30 mins. I believe there were many factors that came out for her, one being that my voice was coming from the pc and I was literally right there and secondly, the sound effects. I do have a little video of her clapping at the end of the poem.

  15. Jeneva your podcast was very creative, loved the visuals and how you put it together. I enjoyed your poem, great job!

  16. Hello Keshia, Thanks for sharing all your views. I'm pleased you found it creative. This was my first time recording a podcast, hence, using powtoons. As such, some of the creativity I had initially was removed due to technical difficulties and this was end result. So thanks again for letter me know.

  23. Sandra I thoroughly enjoyed how engaging your podcast was. If I didnt know better I'd say that you programmed the software yourself! The turning of the pages brought me back to my childhood. I felt like I was watching 'Between The Lions' on PBS Kids!!! I loved it!

    1. If only I was the programmer, ahahaha. Thank you, Breanna. Yes, I agree that the page-turning is quite intriguing. Just imagine how it will be for our students. The beauty of this Storyjumper online tool is that it is FREE to use. However, if students or teachers so desire, a hard copy book can actually be paid for, it about $2.00, or an online PDF can be created. However, free links are always available to share work. It can be integrated with Google classroom which is such a wonderful thing.

  24. HELLO Jeneva, the very first word in your podcast has already caught my attention as I can feel your positive energy reeling me in. My acrostic poem was on Maths and would have loved to have my podcast report on it, but I love the way you conquered it. The alliteration of the 'S' made me pause to read it over and over. I am in disbelief! my lisp and stammering would have activated immediately.
    Nevertheless, captivating great work as always!
