For this project you will create a podcast that could be entered into the NPR Podcast Challenge.

• Before you begin, click on the Podcast Challenge link above and check out the criteria.

• Listen to last year's winner podcasts HERE.

Competition Guidelines:

• Podcast prompts (if you would like to pursue a topic different from these, you must receive approval from Ms. Peelo):

  • • Tell us a story about your school or community: about something that happened there — recently or in the past — that your audience should know about.

    • What is a moment in history that all students should learn about?

    • Show us both sides of a debate about an issue that's important to you.

    • What do you want to change about the world? What's a big change that you want to make in the future?

    • Explain something to us that kids understand and grown-ups don't.

• You may choose between the following styles for your podcast: host on mic, interview, roundtable, narrative, and fiction.

• You may work individually, with a partner, or in a group of three.

• Podcast must be 3-12 minutes. NPR time limits are 3-8 minutes.

• Due dates include:

  • • First draft (recordings finished) due by September 20th (red)/23rd (white)

    • Final draft due by end of class September 26th/27th

    • NPR submissions officially close in the spring, stay tuned for more information...
