Next Homework: Profile of Person, Place, or Event

The listening homework for next week is:
Ira Glass on Storytelling #3
Ira Glass on Storytelling #4

The reading homework for next week is "Chapter 3: Writing for Broadcast" pp. 25-38. You'll need these tips for the exercise we'll do in class next week.

And this week the homework project is a Person, Place, or Event Profile:
* The piece must be at least a minute and a half but not longer than two and a half minutes.
* The piece must include at least two voices other than you. That means if it's a profile of one person, also get some tape of the person's best friend (for instance, could be someone else), or have a scene in which the main subject interacts with the friend.
* The piece must include at least 2 ambient sounds. Feel free to have more if it makes sense in your piece.
* You must get your story approved by me before your do it. That means if you change your pitch from the one you submitted in class, e-mail me the new pitch before you do it to make sure it will work.

Have fun
