Project Plan for Radio Show

Rhetorical context (See Soundwriting 138)

What are your purposes and goals for this project (define at least 3)?

• I want to help educate my listeners on the form paradelle, I aim to properly analyze the form and explain my interpretation.

Who is your audience?

• My target audience is the general public or anyone who is looking to further their knowledge in analyzing poetry and paradelle form.

What is your context?

• My work will be broadcast on the Siena Radio station.

How do these factors play a role and what and how you will compose?

• These factors will influence the way I write my script and convey my knowledge to my audience. Anyone can tune into the station so to make my show easily comprehensible I will use vocabulary that a mature audience will be able to understand with minimal effort.

Genre (See Soundwriting 33–34 & 132–133)

What genre are you composing in?

• Podcast.

What are the rhetorical strategies that composers need to use for their sound writing to be identified as a piece in that genre?

• The power of voice as well as music or ambient sounds.

What are some of the “optional” rhetorical moves people make in the genre?

• Nature and ambient sounds.

Structure and organization

What structure might you imagine for this audio project?

• Solo podcast, I may try to “have a question that drives listeners through the story.” (from Understanding Radio Show Structure in 4 Drawings)

How might you organize your content?

• I will begin with a question about the form paradelle, then deliver my information as a sort of sales pitch as the article describes.

Audio assets (See Soundwriting 47–49)

What kind of audio do you need to collect?

• I need to record myself and potentially find a reading from the author of my poem.

Where and how will you collect these audio assets?

• I can record myself and find a recording from the author online.

See Course Bibliography and Poetry Resources

How and where will you organize these assets?

• I can use my Voice Memo app on my phone to record my audio; I can use my computer to play the authors reading while I am recording the audio on my phone. I can then upload the recording to my computer and can send it from there.

Research assets

What are your 2 secondary research essays?

What are at least 3 other text sources you plan to use to support your claims?

See Course Bibliography and Poetry Resources
