Excerpt from the class weblog:

“Next, we read some spooky stories and looked ways of building suspense writing.  We listened to a ghost tour of Chester in England, then wrote our own ghost tour of IBIS school.  This also included some instructions on how to follow the tour.”

The recordings were made on TTS EasySpeak microphones (still available).  These handheld microphones are child friendly and easy to use.  Audio tracks could be transferred to a laptop through a USB connection.

Creating the ghost tour was a lot of fun, especially creating and using some myths about the school and the teachers!  The children had to speak very clearly and sometimes had to re-record their sections several times.
