This month's episode centers around the personal narrative. The start of a new year is a time for reflection, as well as an opportunity to consider the year ahead.  The 8th grade students spent much of this month considering values that are important to them, which they considered would  continue to guide them through lives.  Today, listeners will hear some of these personal narrative stories.  The podcast will finish up with a few wishes and hopes for the year to come from some faculty members at our school.

In episode 3 the 8th Grade students take on the short story? What is a short story?  What makes a short story good?  what should one consider when writing a short story?  All these questions will be answered in this episode, plus a presentation of two classic short stories and a soapbox moment by Max on the merits of live Christmas trees versus plastic.  Ilia, Sebastian and Michi will perform the music throughout.  So sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy the Things to Think  About podcast.

In our second episode, the 8th grade takes a deep dive into various themes of Thanksgiving, especially food. 

This is a student created podcast led by the 8th grade class at the Corvallis Waldorf School in the heart of the Willamette Valley of Oregon.  Listen as these students make their way through their 8th grade year offering to share what they are learning, as well as their insights and perspectives of an abnormal  school year.  Hopefully, you enjoy the various sections running throughout each episode and be left with something to think about.
