Hello everyone, and welcome back. By my count, we have exactly seven class days left** before the MLK Monday holiday on January 19th. The next three days, we have exams. And then, th-th-th-that's all folks! we are D-O-N-E. So we have to make these remaining days count.
What I would like to begin with today is some basic exam prep. That may sound backwards, but think about it: exactly what kind of exam could we have in a class like this? How do you fit Radio Production into a multiple choice format? So here is what we are going to begin with:
A) The "exam" -- such as it is-- must be an individual effort. This is NOT a group project!
B) As such, each of you is responsible for your own work. Your exam grade will be YOUR exam grade
C) First and foremost, each of you will be required to make an individual radio broadcast, using the equipment next door. The final product must be an mp3 file.
D) Long before that final product rolls out, Each of you will need to come up with a topic for your final broadcast. It can be anything you want, provided that it is school appropriate. You will need to email that idea for a final project TODAY. Your full name and the word "topic" must be present in the Subject line.
E) After I have emailed you back APPROVING this topic, you may then proceed to developing an outline for it, detailing at least 5 to 7 things you want to say about your topic while you are making your broadcast. Each item must be listed as a complete sentence. Your full name and the words "topic out line" must be in the Subject line
F) You may keep the radio name you have made for yourself, but as an individual broadcaster, you must come up with a new theme song -- just as we did at the beginning of the course--and a new "on air identifier". Both the name of the song(s) you intend to use to create your theme song, AND the exact words you intend to use in your "identifier" must be emailed to me TODAY. Please put your full name and the phrase "theme and identifier" in the Subject line of your email.
That should be enough for a start for today. Time permitting, we may try to get to some other items, but only if it is absolutely possible
As always, there is to be no game playing of ANY kind. I will simply shut you down for the remainder of the class if you make the attempt. If you get "bored" why then, make yourself useful
the faster we go,
the rounder we get
