Pandemic Podcast

Do you listen to podcasts? They are like modern-day radio episodes ranging from a few minutes to over an hour! They have a host who typically interviews a person about a topic or two of interest to an audience. Or, some podcasts tell stories about historical events — such as the one living through now.

Directions: Picture this: You’ve just been awarded a free spot to offer the world a 30-day podcast series. You’re excited because you’ve been wanting to make an impact from your room despite quarantining, and luckily, you are able to do this virtually. Answer the following questions:

1) Who would you invite to have on the podcast as a guest?

2) What topics would you talk about?

3) Who would your podcast audience be?

4) How would your podcast be helpful to your audience?

5) What would your podcast be called?

6) Write out a the script for an episode of your podcast!

Bonus: Record a podcast episode on current events and send us your audio clip here to be published in our upcoming online gallery exhibition of student work.

Stuck Inside, but Writing Outside the Box

Choose a familiar object near you — it could be your alarm clock, or a poster on your wall, or your favorite hoodie. Write a short story about quarantine life from the perspective of that object!
