Happy New Year!

We talked last week about additional assignments to your holiday research on animals. I gave you a list of extraordinary animals. You will need to research another animal. You will then compare/contrast the two animals using a Venn Diagram. You can get a blank Venn at:

1. Your Venn Diagram should show all the research you gathered for your two animals.
2. Use the information you gathered and fill in the differences of the 3 animals and their similarities.
3. Once you complete your Venn, you will begin to create a script.
4. You will use that to help you create your podcast, vodcast, slideshow or digital book.

Here is a podcast script format, but you can also use this to outline your video script as well. We will be talking about it in class. Your scripts should be done by January 10, 2011

Shoot for a show length of 10-12 minutes. Keep each topic moving, and limit to 2-3 minutes. Use guests to break up the tone of your shows. Use musical backgrounds (known as)

Show Outline

Here's an example of a show outline:
- Show intro (who you are, what you're going to talk about): 30 seconds
- Intro music jingle (repeat for each show so listeners identify the jingle with your show): 30 seconds
- Topic 1: 3 minutes
- Topic 2: 3 minutes
- Interlude (music or break): 30 seconds

- Closing remarks (thank audience, thank guests, talk about the next show): 2 minutes
- Closing music jingle (suggest same as Intro music jingle): 2 minutes


Your podcast script should have:

Intro (5Ws: who, what, when, where, why)
Discussion
Topic 1 (first animal similarities/differences)
Topic 2 (second animal " ")

Closing - Wrap up your discussion about 2 animals.
