Radio Broadcast Example

Listen to the actual radio broadcast from World War II to gather ideas for your broadcast:  :http://www.archive.org/details/Japanese_Surrender_News_1

This is WLES reporting...

For this assignment, please create a podcast the simulates a radio broadcast of an event from World War II.  You may choose from the following events:  Pearl Harbor, Iwo Jima, D-Day, VE and VJ Days, or the Holocaust.  As a good radio announcer, you must describe what happened during that event and use great detail.  Remember, your audience cannot see what it happening... this is radio, not television.  You must be very descriptive with your writing and telling of the event.  You may choose to use sound effects to make your broadcast more realistic.  In your broadcast, you will need to tell the American audience how this events effects them back at home.  Be creative with your work, but don't forget to stick to the facts!

All podcasts will be posted on this blog as they are completed.  Good luck!
