Abstract
The workshop is to show how teaching the strategies for creating entertaining, meaningful, and provocative audio essays helps students with literacy. The audio essay offers clear restraints and opportunities that work together to assist a learner in crafting a work of unique artistic presence—similar but different than books, other readings, film or photography. The audio essay allows the student to consider literary in different ways from traditional reading and writing, such as how one reacts and interprets language—the spoken word—and how one produces language to achieve a particular outcome. Narrating a story using spoken-word skills directly relates to one’s literacy development. Recording that story and adding elements of sound can help build on literacy. It can also help to establish an intimate literacy community. The workshop will walk participants through a series of learning objectives, offer simple audio recording solutions, and present student work for discussion.
