Producing Your College Story

One of your production activities will be to produce a 5-7 minute audio story detailing some part of your college experience.

​

To prepare for producing your stories, we ask that you do a few things.

​

2. Read this essay about the power of stories. 

3. View a few visual representations of stories

4. View website for The Moth and select a few stories that seem of interest.  (The Moth is an organization that promotes storytelling)
