Greetings, gentlemen, for the last time:
Since our purpose is to get absolutely as much done of your finals BEFORE the actual day of the final exam, I thought it best to lead off with what I still lack from each of you. For each item below, if you have the files, please send them ASAP:
sfx sounds ---> Jeff, Nick, Andrew, Chris, Alex, Matt EMAIL THEM NOW
bumpers ----> Jeff, Devin, Chris, Alex, Matt EMAIL THEM NOW
(individual broadcast) theme song --> Devin, Chris, Alex, Matt EMAIL THEM NOW
Additionally, I still cannot locate the individual broadcasts for the following individuals:
Jeff, Devin, Alex
There are also two discussion posts that are due from each of you:
"year in review" --> Alex
"research topic" --> everyone except Zach. And Even he needs to put in his website sources at the bottom of the post
Finally, I am awaiting team broadcasts from everyone. However, the first group which nmeeds to go in today is "Tone Def Radio" since we ran out of time last class for them to do so.
For the rest of you, I want, at the very l;east, the team broadcast you have right now. If you need time to improve upon it, that's fine, but I need something immediately.
That oughtta do it,
Mr. L

Friday June 12: Where you are, where ya gotta be
Hello once again,
Gentlemen, you have all done a tremendous amount of work, some of you more tremendous than others. i have done my best to locate all your work; I'm sure you will point it out if I've overlooked something:
individual broadcasts: I have them from everyone but Jeff, Devin and Alex. So you guys are going to be next door tutto pronto
year in review: I have a group discussion posting on this topic from everyone except Matt and Alex. The rest of you did well with this part of the final, but I will need Zach and Andrew to come see me on this very briefly
research topic posting: I have been emailed the results of this by Andrew, Zach, Graham and Adam. I have not found anything other than a simple listing of website resources from anyone else, and many of you have not done this yet either. You all need to post a group discussion based on this that includes the facts you've gathered in paragraph format, with your sources listed at the bottom. Please label this discussion so I know what it is, and who did it please!
theme song: I have one from everyone except Alex, Matt and Nick. Guys, please get 'em done and get 'em to me!
bumpers: I've only found those from Adam ,Graham ,Nicholas ,Zach & Andrew...the rest of you, if I've somehow misplaced them, please help me locate them!
sfx sounds: ditto for this category--> I only found those for Adam, Graham, Zach and Devin
That'll be all gentlemen. Cheers,
Mr. L

Wed June 10: team broadcasts, plus finishing up everything from previous classes
Greetings gentlemen, once again!
Today, you have two basic things ya gotta get done:
A) Finishing up all work from the previous several classes (see yesterday's post, and the previous several posts)
B) coming up with a topic/topic outline for your final team broadcast, and posting that as a discussion. Please label it clearly, and make sure as always that its a "school appropriate" topic
I am busy compiling what I have from each of yuo so far. By Friday, I wish for this list to be complete. Let's work together to make it so!
"the faster we go, the rounder we get"
Mr. L
PS I can say this for certain: I only have the "year in review" as a properly formatted group discussion post from three people: Zach, Graham and Adam. Also, by the looks of things, the first two people who need to get next door today are Devin and Alex, followed by Matt and then possibly Andrew and Nick.

Tuesday June 9: finishing up from yesterday (and the previous week)
Gentlemen, I bid you greetings!
Today, you will need to finish up from yesterday, as well as the past several days. Here is what I need to have from everyone:
A) your individual broadcast, both the whole thing put together and its component parts (the actual broadcast, the sfx sounds, bumper music, on air identifier)
B) a group discussion post based on the rough draft of the "year in review" which you were supposed to have emailed me already. The discussion post must be at least three paragrpahs inlength, with each paragraph composed of at least three complete sentences. Please include all points which you (theoretically) emailed to me yesterday. Make sure that the discussion posting is labled with your name and the phrase "year in review"
C) You need to also create a more final version of the topic for which you located eight website resources and two facts from each of those sources. This version, which you will also email to me with the subject line including your name plus the phrase "my topic" should be simply a complete sentences/complete paragraphs version of the facts you collected yesterday. In other words, write out the facts together as if you were telling a story -- which is effectively what you're aiming for.
OK, that should do it for today!

Monday June 8: End game Part Three
Greetings, Traffic Dodgers!
Today, you have three separate tasks to perform:
A) if you haven't already, I need your individual broadcasts, in my email in mp3 format They need to be clearly labeled, so I know who they belong to
B) You need to expand upon the research topic you chose last week by emailing me at least two facts you have discovered about your topic from EACH of the eight online sources you procured last week. Each fact must be presented in the form of a complete sentence. Make sure your email is labeled with your name and the phrase "my topic facts"
C) create a rough draft on the topic of "year in review". All you have to do for this is to email me at least seven different things that stand out in your mind about this class. Whatever you remember the best, the events that stand out the most, particular broadcasts, the teamwork, etc etc etc. Just make sure that the subject line of the email includes your name and "rough draft year in review". A complete sentence for each item you recall the best will suffice for now
OK, that oughtta do it for today
Cheers,
Mr. L

Thursday, June 4: End game Part two
Gentlemen, you got two basic things to get done today:
A) all apsects of your "individual" final broadcast need to get wrapped up. That not only includes the actual broadcast, but also all the other pieces of it that need to be part of it: new theme song, bumper music, sfx sounds, an on air identifier so I know who the heck is speaking. I need all the parts as separate files, AND the final product.
speaking of which, the choice of topic is up to you, just keep it school appropriate (naturally) and GET ME THE ACTUAL MP3 FILE!
B) If you are already finished with this, or while you are waiting your turn at the production facilities, you will need to start researching a "topic pertinent to radio production". Again , the choice of topic is up to you:
it could be an outstanding broadcaster, either famous or infamous --- so that leaves the field as wide open as Paul Harvey and Howard Stern
-- a milestone event, such as a radio broadcast of WoodStock --is there such a thing?-- the Orson Wells "invasion from Mars" broadcast, the Hindenberg disaster, etc etc etc
or even an invention, such as FM broadcasting, the invention of mp3 files, online streaming of such files, the first use of microwave towers, shortwave radio, satellite transmissions etc etc
What I will need besides a choice of topics are at least a bytes worth of websites that you could use as source citations, only one of which can be from wikipedia. Email thsi with your name and "topic and websites" in the subject line
OK, that oughtta be enough for today

Wednesday June 3: keep on keepin' on!
Greetings one and all,
Today you have an entire block to do the following:
A) finish sending me the elements you started working on day before yesterday -- theme song, sfx sounds, bumper music. (If you've already done this, then skip ahead to part B)
B) get crackin' on making a personal broadcast, again, as spelled out in yesterday's blog post. So, you ALL need to start getting some time next door, say at least 10 minutes a piece. Whatever you do, make sure you save all your work and export it as an mp3 file. And, make sure you send it to me by email, labeling it "personal broadcast rough draft"
Let's do it, let's get it done!
Cheers,
Mr. L

Monday June 1st: End Game, Part One
Greetings, Traffik Dodgerz!
As of this moment, we have only two full weeks before the onset of the exam week, which is scheduled to begin June 18th. Because of the nature of our class, and due to the fact that I never like waiting to the last minute anyway,we are going to commence work on your final projects, beginning right now. Before I begin, let me give you a very simple outline of what we will be accomplishing over the next two weeks:
A) An individual broadcast: each of you weill be expected to make an individual broadcast; details to follow soon
B) A final farewell team broadcast: each team will make a final broadcast based upon a topic of their choosing; further details of this to follow soon
C) research topic: each of you will need to research a particular topic pertinent to Radio Production. Details to follow,but please understand that your topic will be broadcast -based as well as print based
D) "year in review": details to follow
In any event, let's get down to what you will be doing today. Each of you will be working on an individual broadcast, so let's work on some of the components for that:
1) theme song: each of you will need to create a new theme song,not less than thirty seconds long and not more than one minute. Please work on a rough draft of one, and send it to me via email, with your name and "my theme song" in the subject line
2) bumper music: each individual broadcast will need some bumper music, so each of you will need to create at least five loops, each not less than 20 seconds and not more than 45 seconds long. Please attach all five and send in an email to me, with your name and the phrase "my bumper music" in the subject line. In the body of the email, please list each full song that you used, including the name of the song,name of the group or artist, year of release and any other details you may believe are pertinent
3) special effects sounds: your individual broadcasts will also require sfx sounds, so you will need to package at least ten that you will choose from later on. Each sfx file should be between 5 to 15 seconds long.Please attach them and send by email, with your name and the phrase "10 sfx sounds" in the subject line
OK, that oughtta do it. Let's get going!
