These podcasts are awesome! Great job.

Great podcast!
I especially enjoyed the “acting” parts, and the research that was done regarding “fighting back.”
Congratulations!

What a fabulous job! Great idea teach, and those kiddos need to be on tv too! Keep those podcasts coming!
You guys are so great. I especially liked how you thought of what you would do if there were some unfair and unpleasant things happened to you and your family. It is important to voice out how you feel to other people who treat you not right. Thanks for your thoughts on that!
Congratulations Room 306 on another fantastic podcast! You did a great job teaching others about Frederick Douglass’ life and showed multiple perspectives about fighting back. I am impressed by all of your hard work and am looking forward to our next podcast!

My childhood was so different that the one you described in this podcast. I really can not imagine being a slave, hitting, fighting or anything else like that. You did such a good job, it was great listening to all of the parts. Keep going Room 306, I love your podcasts!
Hi Kids in 306,
Wonderful podcast!! I loved the opening and closing music. It really jazzed up the sound! The “dramatic” parts were really exciting. I could “see” the action in my mind. I’m glad to hear Ms. H fought back when she was told how to teach. If something isn’t good for kids, all teachers should fight back. I also liked the research you did on whether it was OK or not to fight back. This is a very difficult question–one that adults struggle with. It makes me happy that you have started thinking about important questions at such a young age.
I can’t wait to meet you all,
Mitzi
Your podcast helped us to have a discussion during our community meeting about “taking action” being a type of fighting back. We also will be talking about comparing our childhoods with other famous and not-yet-famous kids and adults!
Ms. Heffernan’s class,
Our class listened to your podcast and it was awesome! We posted some comments for you.

We liked the music. –Cody and Travis
Your podcast was awesome. I liked when Tristin was talking about violence. I agree. We should talk about our problems instead of fighting.
–Trevor
I liked it because slavery was going on years ago, but I don’t like the way they treated the slaves. They shouldn’t beat them just because they were black. I liked what Breanna said, “Talk it over.” -Shameeka
Hi. I liked it. It was cool. –Emma
I liked when everyone started talking about their childhood. I liked the music and the plays.
–Chyler
I liked the part when you were talking about your brothers and sisters. –Jaquan
I liked the part when Frederick Douglas escaped from slavery. -Callie
After listening to your podcast again, and talking about fighting back some more, we wanted to add that our childhoods sometimes seem like Frederick’s. Edward said, “Moses had to fight back when he was a teenager in the Bible.” Alexis said, “Slaves should have gotten together to fight back, because it’s always better when more than one person gets together to do it.”
I like the way each of you connected FD’s childhood in some way. Connecting with books is my favorite thing to do. I had four brothers growing up so every once in a while I had to fight back. But sometimes I could fight back by outsmarting them. That was my favorite way.
What’s the next subject for your podcast?
Happy reading.
ms. Judy
Hi Podcasters,
I am a former fifth grade teacher and I wish my fifth graders could hear all of your interpretations and ideas, they would be as impressed as I am now. I am thinking about a lot of ideas after listening to your podcast. One idea that is very much on my mind is something Darnell (or Donell? I hope I have your name right)about how fighting is different in the neighborhood and at school. I wonder a lot about how where you are makes a difference in how you do things. I am also thinking about how I fight back and when I feel like I can’t or shouldn’t.
I know podcasts are a lot of work-planning, writing, reading, practicing, and performing. Thank you for sharing your work with the world,
Sarah
Hi Room 306! I am a Kindergarten teacher from Quincy, Illinois and I enjoyed listening to your podcast. I am impressed with your ability to respond to such an important book. In Kindergarten we are always talking about treating people fairly and not letting people hurt you so I am really glad to hear that third grade students are learning to affect change in our world.
I’m so proud of all of you!

Hi Podcasters,
I really enjoyed listening and learning from your Virgie Goes to School and Fredrick Douglas podcasts. It was fascinating to hear how you related these books/people to your own lives today. Look forward to hearing more!
