Screening/Auditing Night

screenings: a
group listening time on this first Monday and then a screening on
Tuesday of week 3.

Sharing in Plain English" (CommonCraft)
1.3: Audio Tale Telling Due Before Class:
Email me a brief MP3 file (45 seconds or less) recorded with Audacity,
Garageband, or another program to which you have access. Recordings with clever
content, sound effects, or evidence of mixing multiple tracks will get
the highest scores, though very basic audio snippets will do just fine,
too. Use your voice, at least a little.
Due by Midnight (After Class): Group audio story. (Instructions in class.)

Due at Class Time: One paragraph reviews for two online journals. (One from list "1," another from list "2," at the page linked right below here. The link called "Online Journals.") For maximum benefit, spend some time wandering around several of these online journal links to get a feel for what's going on "out there" with online creative work.
