Technology Literacy - Radio Commercial Podcasting Project

Project Idea Due: May 20 Must be shared with me in your shared folder as a Google Doc before you walk into class that day. Please put all partners names on top and name the file: radio script

Script Due: May 21 Add the script to the same Google Doc

Final Podcast Due May 27

Podcasting Project

You will create a 60 second radio ad for your NEW product, service, event, etc using using Audacity and import the file into iTunes to be played in class. Sound effects & background music may also be imported into the project but will not count towards the 60 second speaking portion.

You can also use any other recording software as long as I approve.

- Your goal is to “sell’ your product. Your ads will be assessed using a rubric on the following categories:

* audio

* dialogue

* time management

* persuasion

The script you create must:

1. be practiced in order to complete the time management portion
2. must be setup in a similar fashion like this example:

SAMPLE:

- Audio sound file of Italian background music (5 seconds)

- Music begins to lower and voice over begins

David: “Wow, have you tried the new Meatball sandwich from Subway?”

Julia: “mmmmmmm, it’s amazing”

(you get the point :)

END SAMPLE

Now remember when you’re coming up with a product and the script. This is radio...not TV! Your audience can’t see what you are talking about so you must describe the feeling to sell your product! How do they buy it? Get more information? When is it available? Think Who, Went, When, Where & Why.
