ENG 122 - audio essays and slide shows

If you are interested in creating an audio essay from your own perspective or the perspective of someone else, listen to some audio essays on the This American Life Website and/or the This I Believe Website first to get ideas. Be sure that your endnote explains why you decided to speak from your own or someone else's perspective.

If you decide to record on your own, you may find Audacity, a free sound editing software product, helpful.
