Day 8: Peer Feedback & Final Script
Wednesday, March 25th, 2026
Warmup: Prepare for Peer Review
Open your podcast script in Word Online. Read through it one more time on your own before sharing it.
Check that your script includes:
- An introduction with all five parameters (hook, name, podcast name, topic, preview)
- Main content with 2–3 clear points
- A conclusion that wraps up and signs off
- Audio annotations for music and sound effects
- A length of approximately 250–500 words
Work Session: Peer Feedback
You will read two classmates’ scripts and provide constructive feedback. Mr. Willingham will explain the sharing procedure.
What to Look For
When reading a peer’s script, consider:
- Does the intro grab your attention?
- Is the topic clear and easy to follow?
- Are the main points organized in a logical order?
- Does the conclusion wrap things up?
- Are there audio annotations for music and sound effects?
- Does the script sound natural when you read it in your head? Would you want to listen to this podcast?
How to Give Feedback
Be specific and helpful. Instead of “it’s good,” say what’s working and why. Instead of “fix this part,” explain what’s unclear and suggest how to improve it.
Now Share
To share your script, follow these steps:
Work Session: Revise & Finalize
Now use the feedback you received to improve your script.
- Read through the feedback from your peers.
- Make revisions — fix anything that’s unclear, awkward, or missing.
- Use the Read Aloud feature in Word to listen to your revised script. Make final adjustments.
- Fix any remaining spelling and grammar issues using the Editor.
Your script is due today. It must be complete and ready for recording tomorrow.
Tip: Break long paragraphs into short lines. When you’re reading into a microphone, short lines are much easier to follow than big blocks of text.
