Radio Hit Part 1

After our flop Saturday, my practicum team was determined not to let it happen again. We had Canela, a local radio DJ who teaches at the liceo (high school) announce our group to his students. We heard about a TV group and had him mention it to them. The day of our next youth meeting, we went from classroom to the next telling students. We offer candy and treats. We enticed them with a visit to the actual radio station. Nevertheless, it came as a shock when, at a quarter past four on Thursday, the library began to fill with students who had come to participate.

Recording material for our radio program

My groupmate Jason had his second technical presentation that day and by the time we had finished our opening dinámica (fun activity to lively things up) of the prop game from Whose Line his audience was huge. There must have been at least 30 youths. In addition, Ann and three of our Spanish teachers were in attendance. Jason presented on interview techniques and gave pointers on how to present well on the radio. While Claire led a question-writing activity and Damian signed up the youths for our Facebook group, I got pulled out into the hall for my second placement interview. Then half of the group joined Garret, Damian and me in Ann's pickup and we trucked down to Radio El Seibo to wait while Ann fetched the rest of us.
