Final Podcast Prompt: MUST BE 7-10 MINUTES LONG
Ancestor Acknowledgement: Introd
Final Podcast Prompt: MUST BE 7-10 MINUTES LONG
Ancestor Acknowledgement: Introduce an Asian American community activist through an “Ancestor Acknowledgement.” Remember, an ancestor is a person who is no longer with us. You must do your own research to identify an Asian American activist & share a brief biography and explain why they’re important to remember. For example, talk about when & where were they born, when & where did they pass away, a brief sketch about who they were, and how they fought for justice in the US.
Include at least 1 credible source.
Asian American community resistance against racism: Provide at least one example of Asian American community resistance to racism in the US – make sure the example is institutional racism (oppression)- that stands out to you & why. Your example can be inclusive of multiple communities of color – solidarity is a great way to talk about resistance, and in fact, I encourage you to talk about cross-racial solidarity, but it must include the role Asian American communities took. Center the voices of Asian American communities.
Talk specifically about the racist event/policy/practice (e.g. share specific dates, place, what happened, what are the important elements surrounding that institutional racist example you’re talking about, etc.). You must also talk about how Asian American communities have fought back/are fighting back against that institutional racist example. This means you will need to research on your own to find examples.
Include at least 2 credible sources.
Call to action: End your podcast by reflecting on why it is important to work in solidarity with all communities of color to eliminate racism. Talk about what your listeners should do (the call to action) in response to the information you provided in your podcast. What is your “call to action?”
You must be specific in your call to action. Do not have a call to action that is interpersonal or general like “love your neighbor,” or “don’t be racist.” Your call to action must be connected to what a current Asian American community organization is doing to change legislation on a federal level, or state level, or local level. It must be reflective of an institutional response, not interpersonal. For example, maybe the call to action is connected to changing specific practices in business, medicine, education, etc. Get specific in your call to action and make sure it is connected to the content of your podcast.
Include at least 1 credible source
RUBRIC:
INFORMATION AND STRUCTURE, 40 PERCENT (10 points)
Does the podcast tell a compelling story or teach us something new and important? Is it structured in a way that makes sense and keeps listeners engaged? Can we easily follow the story you’re telling or the information you’re explaining? Have you spent time editing — cutting out unnecessary information or repetition and making sure the main ideas come through clearly? Did you include all three elements from the podcast prompt (ancestor acknowledgement, Asian American community resistance against racism, call to action)?
PERSONALITY AND CREATIVITY, 40 PERCENT (10 points)
I want to listen to this podcast and hear your voice. Do I hear your unique voice? Does the podcast have personality, or does it make me want to fast-forward? (Tip: please don’t sound like you’re reading from a script). Does the podcast make me laugh or cry or leave me deep in thought — Do I feel something? That’s what I’m looking for.
PRODUCTION, 20 PERCENT (5 points)
I’m not judging you on how fancy your equipment is and don’t expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound, but I do expect that you’ll try your best. Some podcasts may use sound, or audio, in creative ways. Others may be more of an interview format. If you use sound apart from interviews and narration, does it add to the story you’re telling? Is the sound clear, and are the volume levels even? Do the transitions sound smooth, without gaps between audio clips? Did you layer the audio and narration? These are some of the things I’ll be looking for.
