Day #9 (Thursday, March 14) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

   What is the Story of the Atomic Bomb during WWII?

                                                                   (Hallway Field Trip - 5-7 minutes)

Today, we will start to write the podcast.  We will use an example from previous 8th graders as our guide.  (Current 10th Graders)  We will start with the MAIN STORY.

First, let's work on the introduction.  Let's listen to the introduction (50 Seconds) of ROBERT KROHN'S STORY on the TRINITY TEST.

Was this an effective introduction?  Why or why not?  Discuss with your partner(s).  Class discussion with Mr. Clark. (5 Minutes)

What makes an effective introduction?  Class discussion with Ms Carlisto (5 Minutes)

Remember it is just setting the stage for the whole story --it is NOT Act 1. It is probably going to include some back and forth dialog.
see our  example here

Some Options to consider:

     *Give us a glimpse of a particularly intense part of your story--just enough that we are interested

     *Find a way to help us (your peers) relate to the situation/soldier in your story "Imagine...."

     *shock us with interesting info or statistics, appeal to our emotions

  

   

Now, look at the 3 examples you have from last night's home work and write your introduction as a group. (Rest of class) 

This agreed on intro should be done on a new Google document named Podcast Transcript for (your names) 

Share it with Ms. C and partners

Link it to the words  OUR DRAFT at the top of your podcast workspace.
