Tues Oct. 14: making a name for yourself!

BEFORE WE BEGIN: PLEASE REMEMBER TO START BRINGING IN MP3s OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS. PLEASE GET THEM HERE ANYWAY YOU CAN, AS I HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED FOR THEM

Greetings radio children, and welcome to our first class after a long and much deserved weekend break. We are going to "cycle through" all the groups today, trying to give as many people as possible a chance at some time in the production room next door. While you're waiting for your turn, I want you to do the following:

A) Come up with a name for your show. Be creative but remain school appropriate. C'mon, if you're reading a blog called the "Dissonant Disturbances" and make discussion posts at a group called "Father Nature's Wild Kingdom", your instructor obviously doesn't mind some strangeness, but it has to be something that won't get us all in trouble

B) Come up with a name for yourself and your other group members. Again, be creative and appropriate. Just as an example, I am currently listed as "Uncle Paulie" on our Google group. I've also been known --in other places and other times-- as the mightyWalrus, the sonic superman, student X and Commander Zero. It's not that hard to make a name for yourself, you just have to do it.

C) Come up with a slogan for your show. Nike has the "just do it" slogan. The army has the "army of one" slogan. My own slogan is that "I'm not the best at what I do, I'm the only one who does it!" Come up with your own. Again, be creative and appropriate.

Please post all three of these as a group discussion posting on our Google group.

When you are finished with that, please work on anything else you still have not finished up for this class.

Cheers,

Mr. L
