Day #9 Friday 3/9

Today we will give you time to work on your SWS. You are all encouraged to bring these short pieces ALIVE. Here is a quick example of what we mean.

When you think you have brought it to life, you will need to find someone you trust to read it to. You should tell them what you want them to listen for (take a look at the handout). Now find one other person you trust to be a good critic and get feedback from him/her as well. That is a minimum of 2 other opinions on your SWS. Make them count

Return to your SWS and make any and all changes necessary to make us want to hear what you have found out about your subtopic.

HW: Keep reading those IR books and noting any connections you can make, and be sure your SWS is ready to record.

Day #8 Thursday 3/8

Today you get the whole block to use the suggestions given to you about your main story and make
it into the best story it can be. Be sure to write in transitions from speaker to speaker or at least decide
when a speaker will change not always necessary to prompt that. Make it sound NATURAL.

Use this checklist to help guide your changes.

Include a link to each SWS exactly where it will be spoken out loud in the story.
ANGIE SWS Japan Strategy

HW: Final Draft of the main story due tomorrow.

Also remember to read your WWII IR books-- they are due on April 9th.

Day # 7 Wednesday 3/7

Today is devoted to writing your SWS and getting feedback from us.

The first step is to take out your article and any notes you have from yesterday.

Next you will need to consider how you will organize your SWS. Remember, while it is to be informative,
it also still has to grab and pull your audience along.

Listen to Mr. Clark’s SWS and determine how he broke it down into “acts”

Now fill out the graphic organizer in order to map out your SWS.

Next log into your drive, press the new button and create a new Google doc.Name
it yourname SWS  AngieSWS and share it with me.

Now type your SWS. It should be anywhere from 150-200 words in length and be quality work
that you can be proud of completing.

While you are working on your SWS, Ms. Carlisto will talk with each of you in your groups
about your main story. I will provide feedback about how to make it a stronger Podcast.

HW: Completed SWS due in class tomorrow.

Reminder--Flipgrid re-do is due by tomorrow

Day #6 Tuesday 3/6

Today is devoted to identifying the possibilities for stories within the main

story (SWS)

Brainstorm

You will do this by creating a map that shows at least 6 researchable stories within the stories.
See picture below.

Decision time:

Consider each option and discuss the pros and cons of developing the story--consider how it will fit into
the main story you just finished writing yesterday.

Decide who is doing which SWS. Open your rough draft, find the spot you will insert your SWS and
type your name and the topic you will research in large red letters exactly where it fits in the story.  
ANGIE--JAPAN’S STRATEGY

Roll up your sleeves and research

Find an article from a reputable source that will give you enough information to write your own
"story within the story". Remember this is not an eyewitness account but more like a research article
that you need. Use the research strategies we used at the beginning of the year. You will be required
to get our approval for the article and the SWS.

READ AND ANNOTATE

Remember, you have to write an interesting piece on this topic. This requires you to know it well. Read for understanding. If there is not enough information, find another resource.

HW: Article must be annotated heavily and notes taken
