Why an Audio Production? The right level of exposure. Middle school students can enjoy performing without the angst of seeing themselves performing Almost every class member had a speaking role K

Why an Audio Production? Very accessible technology that a number of students can use simultaneously to create a single production Audacity – free, on all our computers, easy to use and full of features, and an inexpensive microphone D

Software and Equipment ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],D

Why an Audio Production? Easier to create a high quality audio production than a comparable video production. We can’t match the level of quality of a commercially produced video. This project followed watching a commercially produced feature film . K

Why an Audio Production? Audio production allows the audience to fill in the details that a visual production must provide K

Why an Audio Production? Fewer permission and copyright issues than other media. Made almost entirely of “home grown” content. Our own script, narration, most of the sound effects and discussed creating our own music D
