Listen to one of our Radio Dramas!
Radio Drama Project -- Mrs. Ochs' English -- 8th Grade
OBJECTIVE: Students were to create a Radio Drama based on a short story or a movie of their choosing. A script was to be written (adapted) by the group members and a performance was recorded, including sound effects. These recordings were presented to the class and a grade was earned based on three areas: Sound Effects and Radio Drama Recording, Written script (demonstration of correct grammar, punctuation, etc.), and meeting the required length of time (at least 10 minutes). Here is one of the Radio Dramas presented by our students:
