Students work in groups to create their own podcast episode where they each have to fulfill the following roles:

A character from Kite Runner

A Supreme Court Justice

A Psychologist

Students work together to write a script wherein they speak from their assigned perspective on a specific supreme court decision's impact on the immigrant/educational experience in the US.

Students must engage in higher order thinking skills to synthesize various perspectives, and go beyond memorization to apply content to knowledge to a dialogic project.

Students then could listen to each other's podcast to deepen their understanding of characterization, perspective, rhetoric, case law, and psychology.

The art component could be that the students have to make their own political cartoon to be the cover of their podcast, which they present.
