I basically just need a transcript to read off for the podcast that I have to make for this class.
Design a podcast of your own. You will submit a description of your podcast and a least one image for the landing page–the place online listeners would come to find episodes. You will also record one episode that incorporates at least THREE of our British Literature texts and answers our big question: Is Progress an act of destruction?. The episode must address our big question about Progress, but your overall podcast concept can be a larger idea. Consider the following:
What podcast topics might contain an episode on Progress or British Literature? Podcasts about politics, films, comics, education, parenting, technology, science fiction, women’s rights, women’s history, etc. The choices are endless.
What makes your podcast interesting to listeners?
Who are your target listeners? Age? Race? Interests? Professions?
Write a 50-150 word description of your podcast (about a half page double-spaced). This is not a formal academic-style writing assignment. This description should entice readers to click play on an episode and should be written with a specific audience in mind.
Choose an image that represents your podcast. Be sure to include a URL to that image if it’s not your own creation.
Give your podcast a name.
Write and record an 8-10 minute episode that provides an answer to our big question through discussion of at least three literary works we read about in this class. Music at the beginning and end is also permissible, but should not exceed 1 minute of the recording.
Criteria for Success (What should my finished project look like?)
The Final Project will:
demonstrate knowledge of British Literature through the lens of The Woman Question OR Science and Technology
answer the question: Is Progress an act of destruction?
use direction quotations from at least three class texts
contain a Word document (see example) that includes
podcast name
podcast image (with URL as a citation)
podcast description
transcript of “Episode X”
contain an audio file approximately 8-10 minutes long that includes you speaking. Other voices may also be present.
demonstrate creativity
use language appropriate to the podcast’s target audience with written assignment components proofread for readability.
You can use these to help answer the “big question”: Is progress an act of destruction?
