Writing for the ear may be a new experience and students must think critically about the strengths and limitations of the medium and how to best communicate their ideas to their audience. Creating a podcast is not as simple as using parts of one\u2019s research paper, and this activity helps students think through some questions they must consider when working with audio. The accompanying worksheet asks students to think through the purpose, audience, structure and tone of their podcast and outline the structure and content. The worksheet works well in the initial planning phase of the project and it can help students clarify their ideas and save time during script writing, recording and editing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Primary Learning Outcome:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluate how the tone, medium, and intended audience of a source impact the delivery of a message, particularly when creating one\u2019s own multimedia project. (4.3)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Additional Learning Outcomes:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Develop a plan for creating and sharing a multimedia project and describe the rationale behind those choices in terms of the project\u2019s medium and audience.
