Senior Podcast Project

Making and editing podcasts

Guidelines 
  • Podcasts must be between three and six minutes long.
  • Must include at least one reporter and one outside source: this could be a teacher, another student, a community member, or anyone to shed light on your topic
  • Must include some element of music, sound, or other audio effect at some point.

Prompts
  1. Tell us a story about your school or community: about something that happened there — recently or in the past — that your audience should know about.
  2. What is a moment in history that all students should learn about?
  3. Show us both sides of a debate about an issue that's important to you.
  4. What do you want to change about the world? What's a big change that you want to make in the future?
  5. Explain something to us that kids understand and grown-ups don't.
