Pre-production • Before students even think of stepping up to the microphone, planning MUST be done. Preproduction during class takes approximately three-quarters of the time to produce a SPARCcast. • Students need to keep their audience in mind. Who will listen to the SPARCcast? Students, staff, and parents of Greenview Upper Elementary and South Euclid-Lyndhurst City Schools, as well as our community, and . . . ?? • Determining who exactly is the audience will help focus the SPARCcast.
Host • Student host, using Script1 (fill-in) or Script2 (writes own) and modeled. • Introduces show (SPARCcast title, reporters), announces each segment, concludes show.
Length of podcast • Ideally, 8-10 minutes for the entire SPARCcast, comprised of short segments recorded by individuals or teams of students.
How to do segments(in other words, how to make a “show”) • Small groups of students (2-3). • Important to BE HERE! • Groups choose a topic. • Groups research topic. • Groups write scripts. • Groups practice scripts. • Groups record segments.
Individual Students • Short segments where each student presents information. • Can also do on a rotating basis, if necessary, so each student gets a turn. • May act as a host, or, a group that finishes early may act as hosts – • gather information from groups, • record script for beginning/end of show.
Sample Formats • SPARCcastcould follow many formats, but samples include: • Host introducing Readers Theater • Host introducing segments that might include: Vocabulary Theater, Did You Know?, Poetry Corner, and Interesting Interview.

Practice speaking • Students should practice what they are going to say out loud to others. Students tend to have trouble speaking at an appropriate volume and speed. • Practice with friends. • Students can practice at home with family.
Post-production • After recording, it's time to edit the audio. • Add sound clips to introduce and end SPARCcast and between segments. • The audio may not have been recorded in order, so the first priority is to make sure all audio is arranged properly. • Also, clips can be trimmed to delete any unnecessary pauses or interruptions. • HOW? • Mrs. L and Mrs. M • Group rotation?
Publishing the podcast • Once the SPARCcast is finalized, it's time to load it on a website. The file must be in a .mp3 format. • The SPARCcast will be added to Mrs. L’s SEL teacher webpage: • www.sel.k12.oh.us/sparcsradio.aspx
