Qing+Dynasty+Podcasting+Project

=Podcasting on the Qing Dynasty=

Last week in class we generated a list of reasons for the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the end of Imperial Rule in China. Your assignment is to answer the following question with a podcast:

What was the most important event in the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the end of Imperial Rule in China?

There are some requirements:

1) The podcast must 2-2 ½ minutes. 2) Each group must pass in a typed script with an annotated bibliography 3) It must include at least two people’s voices 4) The information must relate to specific events and people, not the vague overview we discussed in class. 5) A contemporary quote from someone who witnessed the events must be included. 6) At the end you will provide a verbal bibliography of where you found your information.

Once completed upload the completed work to the proper locations on Moodle. Include the names of the group members in the email

We will be in the IRC for three days. Here is a rough schedule:

Day 1: Begin Research and Script Construction Day 2: Complete Script Construction, begin Rehearsing and Recording Day 3: Complete Recording and make any final Edits

Each computer in the IRC is equipped with Podcasting software. You will be able to edit your work right from your seat.

There is a chance to earn bonus points on this project. You can add music and sound effects to your podcast. Locating these extra features must be done on your own time, that means for homework, and brought into school. Your best bet will be to email them to your self. You can add the extras to the podcast in using classtime.

Any music or sound effects must be appropriate to the topic and school and be copyright free.
