Notes: Radio Talk Back is still a very vibrant
media construct. This is a scaffold that students can work through to
create a very simple radio talk back program on an issue of their choice
or set by the teacher. Try it out using a text students are working on
in class such as a novel, poem, play or film. Print this page so that
students have a hard copy to work on or get them to copy and paste the
right hand column into a word document. All they have to do is delete
the labels in brackets and add their own content. This could be followed up with creating a web forum using a similar format adapted to the features of a web forum or chat. PS: If anyone is good at using Flash or other interactive software and wants to have a go at creating an interactive model of this scaffold I would be very grateful. Please email me if you do and allow me to link to it on this page. |
