1 Chem Alternative Fuels and Energy Podcast Guidelines Period F (If you plan to use a program other than GarageBand to produce this podcast, you must have it approved by Mrs. Chott first) You will prepare a podcast convincing your audience why they should rely on your chosen energy source. You will choose one of the following sources of energy: Compressed natural gas vehicles Hydrogen Fuel Cells Electric cars Biodiesel Ethanol (oxygenated fuels) Hybrid gasoline-electric Solar Cells/Panels Wind Energy Tidal energy (energy harnessed from ocean waves) Geothermal (steam and hot water from inside the Earth) Landfill gas (methane) Nuclear Energy Part 1 Nuclear Energy Part 2 Gasoline Diesel Hydroelectric Hydraulic Fracturing ( Fracking ) Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) New light bulbs (CFL and LED) Each podcast will follow these guidelines: Topic: The podcasts will present information to convince an audience why they should use that source of energy. Each student will create a podcast that addresses all areas outlined for his topic on the following pages. Creative: Each podcast will be produced using GarageBand and should be creative. Grab your audience s attention right away and keep it! GarageBand or Other Programs: GarageBand is a good program to easily create podcasts. If you use a different program to create your podcast, please have Mrs. Chott approve this first. Length: The length of each podcast will be 3 to 6 minutes. Narration: The student will narrate the audio portion of his podcast. Images: The podcast will contain a minimum of 8 images. Images can be a) photos downloaded from the web (the URL must be cited in the references page), b) taken with a digital camera, c) illustrations created in another program, or d) slides containing text) that are relevant to that point in the narration. The title slide and resource/reference pages do not count towards the minimum of eight. Background music: Music will be used to enhance the presentation. The volume of the music should be lowered while the narrators are speaking. Students should check that the volume of the narration and music is appropriate before submitting the final podcast.m4a file to Mrs. Chott. Title Slide: The podcast will begin with a title slide that contains the name of the alternative energy source and the name of the student creator. The title slide does not count as one of the 8 minimum images necessary for your podcast. References (APA Style): The last images of the podcast will contain the sources that were used to gather information. The text should be large enough to read, so it will be necessary to include more than one page of references. There should be at least five different sources listed. The reference pages do not count 1
2 as one of the 8 minimum images necessary for your podcast. All references will be written using APA style. Use citation machine at for citation formats (APA citation style). Presentation: Each podcast will be played in the classroom, and the creator of the podcast will answer questions posed by his classmates after the presentation. Each student will earn points towards the total score for the podcast based on the quality of his responses. Scores: The podcast is worth 50 points in the daily work category. A preliminary script with at least 3 references is due as indicated on your study guide. The podcasts (as an.m4a file) are due to be submitted to Mrs. Chott by (kchott@sluh.org) as indicated on your study guide.
