What to do, Part Two (sept 5)

I’ve been reading your emails with great interest, and have discovered a little bit about each of you, what some of your interests are, why you want to be in this class. You will need to expand upon this in a discussion post you will create on the Google Group you just joined. Here is what your discussion post needs to include:

A) What would you most like to do on a radio show? Would you like to

setup playlists, where you choose the music?
If so, what kind of music most interests you?

Would you like to talk about sports?
If that’s the case, then what teams would you want to discuss?

Perhaps you’d like to talk about school or local news, about things that are going on in Hopkinton that you think are important. In that case, would you be willing to interview people, either by recording or perhaps even live during a broadcast?

Maybe you’re in a band, or you can play or sing; OR, you know someone who does. Would you be willing to give your band some airtime?

It’s also possible that you’re interested in current events, like the election or things that are happening overseas. Could it be that you wish to be a commentator, someone who gives their opinion about stuff that’s happening?

Another possibility is that you are really into gaming, and you have some ideas about new titles that are coming out. Maybe you’d like to do game reviews?

Or maybe you like computers a lot and are really into special effects, especially with sounds.

Look, the bottom line is that the possibilities are endless. Please pick out AT LEAST TWO ITEMS you would be interested in pursuing, and why you’re into them. And by the way, if there’s something I didn’t mention in this list, please, Please, PLEASE bring it to my attention!

B) Regarding the two things you’d like to do, do you have ANY previous experience with them? Any at all? Please don’t worry if you think what you’ve done is not “important” enough, or you haven’t done it for an audience. Look if you’ve ever argued with your friends about the relative merits of WoW versus Halo, if you’ve ever played a song with a band, even if it’s just in someone’s basement, if you’ve ever talked about politics, traded mp3s by some new band with friends of yours, THAT IS MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH.

OK, that ought to do it. Please be as complete as possible. When you are finished, make sure to post your discussion, and then take a look at the discussions put out by your classmates. Maybe you have some people who share your interests!

Cheers,

Mr. L
