HOMESCHOOLING PROJECT IDEA: Top 40 Radio Show
Create your own top 40 radio show! If you prefer, you can make it a top 5, 10, what ever number you feel comfortable with. The first thing you'll need to do is figure out the type of show you'll host? Will there be one type of music? Many genres? You'll next need to make a programming list, which will include the songs you plan to play, a schedule of breaks, maybe some time for others things you want to say to your audience. Once you're ready for you show, do a live broadcast in your house. If you have a recording device, that would be an interesting way to document your show.
Another good thing to do before starting is listen to the radio a bit if you don't usually do that. How do they balance the music, talk, breaks and advertising?
