THIS I BELIEVE
TASK:
Write and Record a Personal Essay
Between 400 and 500 words, or about three minutes when read aloud at your natural
speaking pace.
First, make sure your essay is framed in a concrete belief or conviction Then, tell us a
compelling story about how you came to hold that belief, or a time that belief was
challenged, or how that belief shapes your daily activities. Try sharing one belief instead
of composing a list of all of your beliefs.
Sometimes personal essays are actually inspired by a belief statement or quotation from
someone famous whom the writer respects. Do any quotations below ring true with what
you yourself believe?
Poor Example:
“The Smallville Homeless Shelter is holding its annual food drive from
Monday, November 1 until Friday, November 26. If you would like to
participate, please bring your canned goods to one of several drop-off points
which are located at....”
How Do I Start?
You start with the goal of the PSA: What do you want it to accomplish? Once
you know the goal, then you can figure out how the PSA can achieve it.
- You must use at least 4 different audio clips from their music and 2-4 audio
interview clips. You must paint the picture of the time and incorporate sound
effects wherever necessary as you tell the story.
- Your voice-over must cover the political and social climate of the time period.
o What were the major issues and events going on in society at the time?
o How did your artist make an impact/breakthrough in society and the
world?
o Why do you believe this artist/group is unique and important?
o In your opinion, does your artist’s impact still have a lasting
impression on the world today? How? Why? Or why not?
In oral history projects, an interviewee recalls an event for an interviewer who records the
recollections and creates a historical record.
Oral history, well done, gives one a sense of accomplishment. Collecting oral histpry, we
have a sense of catching and holding something valuable from the receding tide of the
past.
Task:
Interview 2 people who are older than 40 years old. Ask them the following question:
1. “As the time grows near for me to leave home, what is the most important
message or belief that you hope I will take with me and remember throughout my
entire life?”
• Listen carefully and audio record what this adult says, just like a reporter
investigating a news story. Use a cell phone, Ipod, camera, voice recorder, etc. to record
the audio. Do a test for sound quality first
Create a 3-4 minute audio recording that includes music (for dramatic effect), sound
effects (if necessary)
Write a commentary that compares and contrasts the two responses from the people
you interviewed. Answer the following questions in your commentary.
TASK:
Imagine that the Past YOU, the Present YOU and the Future YOU somehow meet up.
Create a 3-5 minute Radio Drama that illustrates how this moment happens and also
answers the following questions. You radio drama must maintain a serious tone even if it
is humorous.
What has the FUTURE YOU learned that the PRESENT YOU has not?
What does the PAST YOU know that the FUTURE YOU forgot?
What does the PRESENT YOU learn from THE FUTURE and PAST YOU?
