 * Create-A-20’s Radio News Broadcast **
 * You and a partner have the job of creating a news broadcast that would have been heard during the 1920’s. We have briefly discussed some of the material in chapter 16, and you have also seen a video on the information. What you are to do today is to use the information from chapter 16 from the orange book, along with anything from chapter 20 and 21 in the red book. Try to include all different topics that you would hear in the news (Politics, Crime, Sports, Entertainment, Advertisements, etc…). **
 * What your final product should be: **
 * A written script that is no shorter than a two pages double spaced. You should write out your rough draft in class today, and then you can email each other your typed responses. However, the final copy is due at the beginning of class and you the class time is not an option, it is required. **
 * You should use the vocabulary list that I have given you as much as possible, but do not over-do it! Try to make this as close to a broadcast you would hear in the 20’s as possible. **
 * Anything goes, but you will be graded on the follows: **
 * ** Information ****à 60% **
 * ** The information that you use is factual and makes sense. You have taken facts from the textbook or the internet that actually happened. The 2 page requirement is also met. **
 * ** Class work ****à 25% **
 * ** You use your class time wisely and get your rough draft completed. As long as you are working hard, this should be an easy 25 points. **
 * ** Creativity ****à 15 % **
 * ** You have come up with a creative broadcast that uses vocabulary from the time and flows smoothly **
 * This will count as a project grade (Test), so take it seriously. The more you get done in class, the less you have to do over the break. All you should have to do is type this up and put it all together. (Maybe you can meet up over the break and get some lunch or something and knock this out.)

VOICETHREAD:

Once you have created your scripts, you will be recording them onto VOICETHREAD. Go the following link and create an account: www.voicethread.com

After joining voicethread you will be ready to start. You must find a picture off the internet that has to deal with the 1920's. I have already showed you how to save these and upload them into voicethread.

When your voicethread is complete, you must save it into wikispace and add it to this class. **
