Music and History in the same lesson. search for wav files online.
Or get this book, which I used as a reference in creating the lesson plan; the book has a CD with lots of samples on it, and teens might actually read it!

Podcasts!
A podcast is basically an MP3 file, which can be made with a microphone and Audacity and then uploaded to a blog or imported into Windows Movie Maker and made into a video podcast.
Teens can create stories, poetry, rants, even create learning aids for studying, then import them into iPods or burn on audio CD's. |

Audiobooks
Teens can create their own audiobooks -- either writing them, or reading them in. Here's an online teleprompter, which is pretty cool:

There's a great site where classic books can be downloaded in .mp3 format -- fun for listening, fun for a book club, fun for making gifts, like Jane Austen for Mother's Day on a CD:
