Stephanie Chalef- 12/2/16

So today in class we didn't really do much in terms of learning. We actually recorded our first group podcast with the groups we picked. As usual, the beginning of class was dedicated to writing in our pre-production page and turning it in. We are going to be doing four of the podcasts and this was just the first one. Mr. Rivers checked to make sure everyone had their book, whether it was hard cope or on the computer. We had to figure out what exactly we were going to talk about and who would talk for which parts. Our group in particular wanted to start with music first and an introduction, then after that summarize the movie and the 1/4 of the book we read so the audience (Mr.Rivers) would know what we were talking about when we discussed them. That was just what our group decided to do, but other groups could do what they wanted to make their podcast their own. We had about 10 minutes to do the actual podcast because class was shorter today due to the half day. Considering the time limit, all groups had to be conscious of how much time they had to speak because 10 minutes is how long we are supposed to record for. This podcast was a little harder because we had so much we could do with it, but also, it was more interesting because we were doing it on something each of us picked out, so it may have been more interesting to each person.
