Podcasts

Assignment for Tuesday, March 10:

Your hour today is spent listening to the podcasts (see link on sidebar), and completing the handout for podcast that you choose. You need to listen to three of the five links; all students need to select the "Hickeys" podcast, as well as two other podcasts of your choice.
While your assignment is to create a Public Service Announcement (which is serious and informative in nature), the sample podcasts here are more light-hearted and entertaining. Please be thoughtful about what you could include as part of your podcast that would grab the listeners attention. Remember that your audience is your peers - fellow high school students.
Complete the questions, and turn in by the end of the hour.
