Emilee,
After listening to your podcast about Iowa I am going to pack my bags and I am going to think about staying. I can't imagine being in a state where 95% of the land is used for farming. I can really visualize those corn fields.
Wonderful research, writing and recording!

Emilee- well done!
Iowa sounds so beautiful and you gave your listeners some wonderful options.

I'm torn between your description of Iowa and Margaret's Indiana

Both of you are great salespersons! I can't wait to hear from others in your class

Emilee, what a wonderful job you did! Great information presented in a very convincing manner. I agree with Mrs. Cook you did a great job researching, writing, and recording. I even loved your music and they way it flowed. What was most appealing to me was Lake Red Rock. I can just picture myself enjoying a picnic with a wonderful view. I would also love to see the prairie there. I understand it is beautiful. I think Iowa is certainly a place I would love to visit.

This is my second comment to you because I have more to say.The comment you left to me was really nice and made feel really good.Thanks for that wonderful comment.
Your podcast was the BEST.You sure do have a great voice to listen to.Working with you in Social Studies together made me not so scared because you were doing it to and I didn't feel so alone with what I was doing.
When you said you were scared to do your podcast it didn't seem like it, your podcast sounded like you were ready and really had the confidence.Awesome jod Em,you really are a wonderful person and a wonderful podcaster too!!!!!!!

Dear Emilee,
I agree with most of your facts. I also studied Iowa for my state project . If someone did not know that much about Iowa he would learn a lot from your pod cast. Great job! I hope you get to see my brochure.

WOW! Emilee...I can't even speak!

That was so nice.

I love how you spoke so clearly and I love how you put so much infomation in only about a two min. podcast.

I can't belive that there is only 30 inches of rain and only 3 feet of snow per year. My mom would love that!

Well. I can see you on a reporting station some day.
