Above is the link to the rough audio cut of my project. I converted the written script into an audio presentation, and added in some sound cues to help enhance the experience as well.

Rough Cut:

[beep countdown]

Hello, you’re listening to a walkthrough of English 109 Honors student Grant Williams’ writing process, airing live from KAMP Student Radio, the University of Arizona’s student-led radio station.

[music stinger]

It’s been a long school year, and I hope everyone out there listening has made it through in not too many pieces. I know I’ve gotten a real beating this year: I’m the type who focuses in on one goal, and is unable to do anything else until that task is completed. Especially when that assignment involves writing.

Rough Cut:

Next comes writing. Not the paper, but rather researching. I open up a search summons for the UA Libraries and search for any keyword that might be able to relate to my topic. I also open up the Google Scholar app and search for peer reviewed articles and dig up those sources. Finally I set up a preference search for news articles pertaining to my topic, and open anything that interests me in new tabs.

For my first Controversy Post-Mortem project, I remember I had 32 tabs open by the end of this step. Then I just read. Read, read, read through all the sources at least once. Once I’ve read through them, I run back through the articles with a pencil and paper in hand, noting the source, article title, and jotting any key details down, whether they apparently relate to my topic and outline or not.

I must absolutely have a pencil and paper for this process: something about feeling the pressure of pencil on paper feels critical, and I can’t get that feeling from typing on a keyboard in Microsoft Word.

After this step, I have about 4 to 6 pages of notes, filled front and back. This takes anywhere from 3 to 9 hours, which I accomplish in one sitting.

Open Post to Peer Reviewers

Hello Peer Reviewers,

This will be my last project for the semester: it is a podcast. I do script writing first, and find this to be the most important part of any genre involving audio, so I left my script here. Please give suggestions for any possible sound effects or bites I could include to spice up my project. Thanks for all the help throughout the year!
