Based on this Focus Sentence, please also tell me what are your next
steps.
o How do you want to tell this story?
o Where will you start to research/collect tape?
o What structure do you imagine this taking? How will it look?
o Etc. Etc.
Important note: You may not know exactly what will happen in the podcast
just yet. That is good. The research and writing will help you discover that.
Right now, you just need to know what this project is basically about, why it
matters, and what the story you will tell might be.
What you think you might do with the interviews? How might
you best incorporate them into your episode (think about Methods)?
Its fine if they are not going to work for your podcast episode; just
write about why that is.
What two sources other than interviews are you most excited
about so far? Why? This does not include sounds or other bits of
tape. This is the research youre doing outside of gathering tape and
interviews.
How might you best incorporate these into your episode (think
about Methods)?
Each Reflection needs to be around 300 words (total of at least 600 words),
single-spaced, and uploaded on time. Please ask me for any clarification you
need well before the deadline.

(basically) the exact same rubric I use to evaluate your work. That way, well
both have a say in the labor you did.
There is no requirement for your self-evaluation regarding word count or
length. But I really want you to dig into these criteria on the Rubric and help
me understand what you are trying to do in this podcast episode. Get very
specific. Dont just tell me that you chose this resource because it makes
your claim more valid, tell me HOW.
Please Note: If I dont have a Self-Evaluation from you then I dont
have a Podcast Episode. Its all one project.

Background and
Research: At some
point during the podcast
(or all throughout), help
your listeners better
understand your
issue/topic by weaving
some good research into
the mix.
This includes outside
research such as articles
or essays or blogs that
inform your topic as well
as interviews and bits of
tape youve collected.
Multi-Voiced: The
podcast needs to
incorporate voices and
ideas that are not your
own.
18
Sound Design: You
need to incorporate a
good deal of sound
design, which means the
podcast makes
interesting, thoughtful,
and, above all,
purposeful use of
music and sound
effects.
Evidence of obsessive
editing: The podcast is
nearly flawless when it
comes to integration of
sound design (i.e. music
and effects) with the
spoken word.
Again, I know youre
not audio engineers, but
one important part of
this project is helping
you practice with newer
ways of producing
meaning and
arguments. So music,
sound effects, and
voices will carefully and
purposefully put
together with little to no
rushed or awkward
moments.
To accomplish this, I
imagine youll need to
enlist the help of the
Student Technology
Center and (and!) get
your friends to listen to
several drafts because
you need to hear what
other people hear.
Podcast is between 6
and 10 minutes long.
