Grade 4,5,6 Audio Book (Tuesday, May 7 and Friday, May 10)

Grade 4 Link: http://mediasmarts.ca/sites/default/files/games/coco/flash/start.html

Media Form: Audio Book

Audiobooks are an electronic media form. Audiobooks are the narrated versions of physical books. Often the book's author will narrate the book. They often come in the form of a CD but sometimes are only online. Audiobooks have the same content as the physical books. When audiobooks are CDs their packaging often looks like the physical book version.

Here are some common conventions of audiobooks:

Introduction
Author's Note
Chapters
PDF versions of (certain) pages

Answer the following questions based on the audiobook we looked at in class today: The 7 Habits of Happy Kids

1. Explain what an audiobook is.

2. Name 4 conventions of an audiobook. Give an example from book we discussed in class today

3. Why might someone decided to read an audiobook rather than a physical book? Give one reason and explain your answer.

4. Would you prefer to listen to an audiobook or read a physical book? Explain why.
