Intro / Methods Script Workshop

1. Examine the author’s introduction. Does it follow one of the strategies for effective introductions we talked about in class? If so, which one? Is it clear, direct, and specific? Does it begin by telling the audience something s/he doesn’t know? How might the introduction be improved?

2. Does the author clearly highlight their hypothesis statement? If so, how? Do you think that there is any chance that the listener might miss or misinterpret their hypothesis statement? If so, why?

3. What is the expected ratio of scripted vs unscripted content? Do you think this ratio will be effective? Are there any sections that you think might work better as either scripted or unscripted? Why?

4. How has the author planned to employ post-production techniques? Do you think these strategies will be effective? Suggest ways in which the author might use post-production techniques such as adding music or sound effects to make their podcast clearer and/or more interesting.

5. Is the author’s Methods & Materials section effective? Does it explain the experiment in enough detail that the listener could replicate it exactly? Suggest any ways in which the Methods section might be improved.

When you have completed the workshop, turn it in here:
