Outlining Activity: Feeder 2.2

Take a few moments to read these questions and start brainstorming answers. Jot some ideas down on your computer or on a piece of paper. Try to think of a few different potential answers for each question; don’t just accept the first idea you have.

1. How will you hook your listener? Explain how this hook will draw the listener in and transition into your hypothesis.

2. What background information will you need to present in order for your listener to understand your experiment? Are there any complex terms or concepts that you will need to explain?

3. How will you establish and maintain your credibility as an author?

4. Where can you insert interviews, extempore speech, or other non-scripted content in order to keep your answers interesting?

5. Why should your listener be interested in your experiment? How will you convey this reason to the listener?

Once you’ve thought about your answers and jotted down a few potential answers, discuss your answers to each question with your group and note any feedback or ideas they have.
Once everyone has discussed his or her ideas, start shaping them into a script. You might want to work on an outline first: what do you need to tell your reader? What is the most logical order for presenting those ideas? What will each section of the podcast sound like? Note anything else you will need (other voices, sound effects, etc.) to complete each section.
