Radio Interview of Principal Robert Topf
4th-6th graders in the Multi Media enrichment class were challenged to
record a radio interview with Principal Topf. Students took on various roles:
producer, sound mixer, interviewer, announcer, etc. The students wrote the
questions, selected a title and theme song for the show, set up the microphones,
and conducted the interview as if it were being broadcast live - there was no
editing involved. The act of creation proved to be empowering. Students had a
great time learning interview and sound recording techniques, while getting to
know their Principal a little better.

Our multi-media lab offers students the opportunity to learn fundamentals
behind news writing, sound recording, script writing, photography, graphic
design and other related areas. Students immediately begin creating
product from day one. Theory and aesthetic are taught along the way.
Learning to communicate in these art forms gives students a new language
with which to express their ideas.
