Go to the Art Full Text database (http://eresources.lib.unc.edu/eid/subject.php?subjectName=Art+and+Architecture). Groups 1 and 2 find the article “Available in an Array of Colours” by Alistair O'Neill and groups 3 and 4 find “Upon the Scents of Paint” by Nicholas Chare. Next, start a wave for Feeder 3.1 and complete the following tasks:

1. Summarize the article’s thesis statement
2. Identify at least two pieces of indisputable “evidence” (the stuff in the left-hand column on the board) to which the author appeals.
3. Identify at least two claims that the author makes based on those pieces of evidence.

Exporting / Uploading Your Podcasts

Exporting Your Podcast as an MP3

Mac: GarageBand
At the top of your screen, click “Share” and then “Export song to disk.”
Make sure the box next to “Compress” is checked, and change “AAC Encoder” to “mp3 Encoder.” Change “High Quality” to “Good Quality.” Click Export and choose a location for your file.

Windows: Audacity
Click this link for an explanation of how to install the MP3 codec: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation#Simple_Installation
This is a little more complicated! But if you run into problems you can rely on me and your group members.

Getting Your MP3 on Your Blog

1. Go to www.divshare.com and sign up for an account.

2. Once you’re in your dashboard click the big green button that says “upload a new file.”

3. Click the “Choose File” button, locate your mp3 on your computer, and upload it to divshare (note: you’ll have to click the green “upload” button once you’ve chosen your file).

4. Once your file is done uploading, click “Dashboard” at the top of the page, and your mp3 file should be listed near the bottom of the page. Click the link that says “embed” under your file name. Scroll down to the box labeled “embed code.” Copy this code and paste it into the “create post” window on your blog. Make sure you’ve clicked the tab that says “Edit HTML,” otherwise it won’t work.

Workshop: Unit 2 Project

1. How has the author summarized the data that she or he collected in the experiment? Does this summary feel like an onslaught of numbers? Is it disorienting, or do can you process them all as the author is explaining them? How might he or she deal with this material more clearly?

2. Does the author restate clearly the original hypothesis and how the data proved or disproved that hypothesis? How could this information be better highlighted so that the listener will be sure not to miss it?

3. How does the podcast end? Is the ending effective? Why or why not?

4. How might the author interject another voice in a way that would make the podcast both clearer and more interesting?

http://www.unc.edu/~scarly/FinalPodcast.mp3

1. Describe this author’s hook. Does it get your attention? Why or why not?

2. Is this author’s use of music more or less successful than the previous author’s? Why or why not? What other choices might she have made regarding music that would have made her podcast clearer?

3. How does the author reformulate her hypothesis? What evidence does she cite as he presents his reformulation? Is this evidence convincing? Why or why not?

4. Do you get bored at some point with this podcast and want to stop listening? If so, note the time and what the author has done to lose your attention.

Model Podcast #1

1. Describe the author’s hook. Does it get your attention? Why or why not?

2. Note the author’s use of music. Does it add anything to the podcast? Detract from it?

3. How does the author reformulate his hypothesis? What evidence does he cite as he presents his reformulation? Is this evidence convincing? Why or why not?

4. Do you get bored at some point with this podcast and want to stop listening? If so, note the time and what the author has done to lose your attention.

Draft Workshop March 25

Listen to the current draft of your partner's podcast and answer the following questions in Wave:

1. Compose a retrospective outline of the piece. List the main sections of the podcast, note the central claim of each section (i.e. something like a paragraph topic sentence) and note what evidence is used in each section to prove that claim.

2. Where is the author’s hypothesis? At what point in the podcast do you know that s/he is conducting an experiment? Is this soon enough? Could it be sooner? Is the hypothesis highlighted and explained adequately?

3. How do you know when the author changes focus and moves to a new section? Are they separated by silence / pauses? Sound effects? Changes in tone? Are these section divisions clear? Suggest ways in which the podcast’s organization might be highlighted for the listener.

4. Has the author used any music, sound effects or other post-production techniques? How do these change the tone of the podcast? How would the podcast be different without them? Do you think that they’re performing a function or are they just window dressing?

5. How is the fidelity of the podcast? Can you hear everything clearly? Can you understand each word that is said? Note ANY places where the content is unclear so that the author can re-record them.

6. Is the podcast 4-6 minutes long as per the assignment? If it is too short, what do you think is missing? Should the author add more background research, explain the experiment more slowly, etc.? Is it too long? If so, what information is extraneous? What don’t you need to know in order to understand the author’s experiment? Think about your own podcast and the one you listened to in the first draft workshop as you consider how this draft might be expanded or cut to meet the length requirement.
