Homework assignment -- 2 parts again:
Part 1: Produce a profile piece of a person, place, or event.
* Must be at least 2 minutes long, no longer than 3:30.
* Must have at least 2 interviews and 2 ambient sounds.
* Must have hook -- you have to write a headline for the piece. I will ask in class what your headline is.
* Must have a story arc. By this I mean a well-thought-out structure so that it's not just some random collection of facts. Think of how the pieces we listened to in class had a clear beginning, middle, and end, and do that with your piece.
* All sources must be clearly identified with first and last name and one identifying detail (age, year in school, etc).
* You cannot interview close friends or family members in this piece unless pre-approved by your editor (me).
* Your final audio file, in mp3 format, must be uploaded to the iTunesU dropbox by start of next class. Do not wait until class to upload. We'll go by the time stamp on the dropbox, and work uploaded after noon will lose points.
* File names must include your first name, last name, and the word "profile."
