Creating a Podcast

Aim: How do we write and broadcast a script? 

Quick Write: How do you make yourself focus? (This was Geremy's question. I think. I may have been distracted.) 

To complete the lesson on reading "Harrison Bergeron" through the lens of the article "Brain Interrupted," you are to put yourself into the head of George or Hazel Bergeron. Is your government using distractions effectively to create an equal society? Why or why not? Write a script and put it into a podcast.  Check out my feeble attempt to model this by clicking here. If you are completely adverse to recording your own voice, then write your script and find a friend to act it out for you. In other words, you be the director and technician.

You can open a free account at Audioboo for recording and sharing your podcast. Alternatively, you can record your podcast using Garage Band on the laptops and then upload it to SoundCloud so that you can share the link on your blog. Here are the instructions for using Garage Band.

Final Reflection (to be posted on your blog along with the link to your podcast). Based on your analysis of "Harrison Bergeron" through the lens of "Brain Interrupted," how do you now rate yourself as a multi-tasker and why?
