This is Use Your Words, a seasonal podcast featuring the voices and perspectives of middle school students. Each season, lovable, insightful, awkward middle schoolers craft episodes on topics they’re learning in English and history. While these student-led episodes form the backbone of our podcast, teachers Rebekah O’Dell and Samantha Futrell introduce and conclude each season with episodes designed to help other educators conduct similar projects in their own classrooms. The ultimate product is an endearingly organic experiment in education.
