This assignment is a sub-component of your audio essay project. Complete these steps before class on February 11th:
Use a word processor or text editor to compose a script for your audio essay. The script can be a mix of storyboard-like instructions and the actual text of the narration you want to include in the essay.
Direction segments might be something like: [Insert interview clip with Aunt discussing writing in the 1970s] or [play typewriter sound effect].
Narration segments should provide a transcript of what you will say into the microphone. For these sections, aim for a good balance of tone that is not overly formal, but that also has direction and is not too improvisational. Also, tighten the language as much as possible. Shorter is almost always better when trying to articulate a phrase in an audio essay, so edit for concision.
You will need to do preliminary work thinking about the topic, the structure, the kinds of materials you can include, etc. The script, then, can be a map of how these pieces will be laid out in the essay, as well as a text that will guide your narration.
Use the Audio Essay Script Option to upload your script before class on the 11th.
