Podcast Episodes

Students choosing the Podcast Episode format for their research projects will write, record, and edit a 15-minute discussion of their selected dystopian media. Students should consider this a formal presentation — it must be well-planned and organized — although the actual style may sound more casual.

Expectations

For the podcast episodes, you should be able to upload the MPyour video to a streaming service or a cloud storage service. You will not be able to submit the actual video file through Brightspace; instead, you will need to provide the public sharing link for the video.

Submitted video presentations must meet all of the following in order to be considered complete:

  • Be completed on time.
  • Demonstrate significant research into the topic dystopia.
  • Demonstrate insightful analysis.
  • Be clearly written, well-organized, and clearly presented.
  • Include a Show Notes document listing any attributions for Creative Commons media and ALL source material referenced in the episode in APA format.
