Writing a Script for Our Podcast

Today we will write a script to use when we record our podcast!

Do you know what a script is? That's right! Like Mario Chavez shared in period 1, it is "something that you read to talk, like for a movie."

I want you to think about your topic. Please tell your neighbor, what you want to talk about in your podcast.

Now that you have your topic, please type the name of your topic at the top of your page and please center this title.

Now you will write a short script about your topic. Please left-align your script and add numbered items for each separate sentence you will read on your podcast.

Your first sentence must be your introduction, the rest of the sentences (minimum four) will be about the topic, and your final sentence will be your conclusion.

"Hello, this is ____________________ and I am going to talk to you today about _________________________."

This wraps up my podcast today. I hope you enjoyed the show!

Because this is a spoken piece of work you may use colloquial or "everyday" language when you write your script.

Music & Technology in Class

Today's Magic Garage Band class was a lot of fun!

We learned how to use Garage Band to create a musical hook for the podcast we are recording this week. Students were able to choose a musical style, then choose and adjust a variety of instruments for their piece of music, then export their song to iTunes to use in their podcast.

One student reported that a musical hook is like a hook in literature and reels the listener in like a fish. Great analogy!
