Podcast Analysis — YOUR NAME

In the Unit Three Assignment look at podcast mentor texts.  You will scroll down to the VI Option to create a podcast.  Choose one of the podcasts.  Use the following questions to analyze it for structure (NOT for content) to give you an idea how to put your project together if you choose to do a podcast.  Write one paragraph.

  • How does the text HOOK the audience? Intro.
  • Where does the text incorporate research? How does it use research? Does it quote outside sources, use statistics, use experts, refer to history?
  • What do you notice about the text visually (imagery, color, layout)
  • What do you notice about the text auditorily (music, background sounds, voice-over)
  • Length: How long is the text – words, pages, minutes?
  • Who is the audience? What makes you think this? (Consider language, music, visuals, content.)
  • How does the text come to an end? Closure.
  • What do you think the message is?
  • What aspects will you emulate in your project? How will you do this?
  • What aspects will you avoid in your project?
