Podcasts

Podcasts are due Friday, May 22 after Mr. Lai's class.

In class today we are working on rewriting one of your pieces for the podcast. You will need to hand in your rewritten copy with the audio file.

I also want the first print piece attached. So over the weekend, continue to work on this assignment.

In your groups, you may want to start planning out the stories you want to do for your newscast for broadcast as well.

Writing for Podcasts

Please make sure to bring your articles to class tomorrow from the newspaper project...

give some thought as to which piece you'd like to use for your podcast.

Writing for radio

On my way into work this morning I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio) as I always do and I was trying to be very cognizant of what made it compelling to listen to as oppose to reading it or watching it.

They told a feature story on Polio survivors that was moving and interesting... I'd like you to listen to the podcast on it and see if you notice what they do different in radio casting than written or visual.
