Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5 Radio Club: The Importance of Creativity
Students in Radio Club at Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5 wrote and recorded these pieces about the importance of creativity. First we had a discussion about ways to be creative and the things that make it fun. Then, we each wrote about what what being creative means to us.
The ZONE: Zoo Story
The ZONE’s Radio Club-ers were tasked with answering these very difficult questions: “What would you do if, while at the Zoo, all the animals were released and an aggressive panda cornered you? What if you yelled ‘Stop!’ and suddenly discovered you could speak to animals?”
Clairton CASTLE: Alien Stories
Radio clubbers at Clairton’s CASTLE program wrote and recorded stories about making first contact with an alien species. Unfortunately, most of the aliens turned out to be more like the titular alien in “Alien” rather than like an E.T. or a Mork or a Chewbacca.
The ZONE: Audio Mad Lib
The ZONE’s Radio Clubers received access to Netbooks, with which they assembled a Mad Lib from previously recorded audio fragments. Most recordings had transformed into the Beatle’s “Revolution 9”-esque mishmashes before they’d even unleashed the “Pitch Bender” feature upon them.
Propel Northside Radio Club: The Importance of Creativity
This week in Radio Club, we finished our time clocks from the previous week and shared with the group what our radio program would sound like. Then we had a discussion about creativity and why it’s important for ourselves and for our world.
