Radio Show Project Plan
Rhetorical context
What are your purposes and goals for this project (define at least 3)?
- To provide information about found poetry
- To explain how poetry can be applied beyond entertainment
- To share the work of various poets
Who is your audience?
- My audience is the general public, more specifically, anyone who listens to WVCR 88.3
What is your context?
- Informative radio show about found poetry
How do these factors play a role and what and how you will compose?
- Because my radio show is meant for the public, I hope to write my script in a way that is easily understandable with no extensive knowledge of poetry needed
Genre
What genre are you composing in?
- Informative radio show
What are the rhetorical strategies that composers need to use for their sound writing to be identified as a piece in that genre?
- Composers need to remain informative while using clear, engaging language and model their script as a conversation
What are some of the “optional” rhetorical moves people make in the genre?
- Making an argument to share information
Structure and organization
What structure might you imagine for this audio project?
- I plan to use the solo/monologue podcast format
How might you organize your content?
- I plan to organize my content somewhat similarly to how I would for a presentation or paper, with a clear introduction to what I researched, an argument, and a conclusion
Audio assets
What kind of audio do you need to collect?
- I need to record myself reading off my script. I also hope to find a clip of an interview with an artist who has worked with found poetry.
Where and how will you collect these audio assets?
- I will have my voice recorded in the studio. To find an interview or a reading of a poem, I plan to use sources from our Canvas site, such as Penn Sound, Ubu Web, and Jacket 2
How and where will you organize these assets?
- I will organize my audio assets with a website that stores recordings and allows me to edit them

When is it due, and when will you carve out time to do it?

Where will it be heard, and by whom?
- WVCR 88.3, by the general public
Why is this project important?
- This project is important because it will share information about found poetry, and it is a good learning experience to grow my appreciation for the form.
