In this unit, you will create a podcast with two other students. The three of you will work together to research a famous person. You will then create a script where the three of you talk about your famous. You will list facts regarding your famous person. This will be recorded and your recording will be handed in when you are done.What is a Podcast? A subscription model for digital media on the web. Just as you will subscribe to a magazine, you receive magazines. YouTubers create videos for subscribers on YouTube who are subscribed to their channels. People create audio content for subscribers using iTunes. A podcast is a combination of iPod and Broadcast. Many people use various devices to enjoy their subscriptions to broadcasters content. How many of you are subscribed to some kind of content feed? Technology makes it easy to create. This fills the internet with content both good and bad, from people who may only create one thing, to people who can create consistent content for a channel. People all over the world are creating content and sharing that content with any with access. The nature of this content varies from silly and random entertainment, planned and scripted entertainment, informative presentations, and topic discussions. The internet is full of creators who continuously produce content for their subscribers. In some cases, advertising and selling the content, help people make money.

Here is a breakdown as to that this unit will look like.

Phase 1: Brainstorm and complete a KWL Chart and list your topic person.

Phase 2: Using your KWL Chart, you will search for and print two articles about the person you have chosen to podcast about. You will then write in the margins to show me you are taking notes and have read the entire article.

Phase 3 Script Writing: Using the notes and highlighted information on your two articles, you will write a script. The format of the script will be each member taking turns giving information. A good format is one person asking questions and other members answering them to provide information.

Phase 4 Recording: The three of you will use one laptop and record your script using Audacity. When you are done, you will export your audio and hand in.

This project has many steps and will require you to hand in the various elements as you go along.
