3. What Makes Radio Special? Radio uses only sound - no pictures or text to help tell your story Your voice, music, and sound effects create the entire experience Think-Pair-Share: With a partner, discuss how radio is different from TV or newspapers Campus radio connects your school community through shared stories and information

4. The Power of Your Voice Your voice carries emotion, excitement, and personality Practice speaking clearly and at the right speed for radio Change your tone to match different types of stories - serious news vs. fun events Remember: Your listeners can't see you, so your voice must paint the picture

5. Writing Radio Scripts - The Basics Write like you're talking to one friend, not a crowd Use short, simple sentences that are easy to speak and understand Include pronunciation guides for difficult names or words Mark where to pause, emphasize words, or change your tone Always write the time your story should take to read

6. English vs. Filipino Broadcasting Compass Points Activity: Move to corners based on your preference - North (English only), South (Filipino only), East (Mix both), West (Depends on story) English reaches broader audiences and formal school announcements Filipino connects with local culture and community stories Code-switching (mixing languages) can make broadcasts more relatable Choose your language based on your audience and story type

7. Types of Campus Radio Content News reports about school events, achievements, and important announcements Sports coverage of games, tournaments, and athlete interviews Feature stories about interesting students, teachers, or school programs Public service announcements about health, safety, or school policies Entertainment segments like music, trivia, or student talent showcases

8. The Radio Script Format Start with your intro: "Good morning, this is [Your Name] with Campus News" Write your lead sentence to grab attention immediately Include sound bites or quotes from interviews when possible End with your outro: "This has been [Your Name], reporting for [Station Name]" Time everything - most school news stories should be 30-60 seconds

9. Interviewing for Radio Prepare questions in advance, but listen for follow-up opportunities Ask open-ended questions that get more than yes/no answers Practice active listening - your next question comes from their answer Think-Pair-Share: Practice interviewing your partner about their favorite school subject Record clear audio and always get permission before interviewing someone

10. Broadcasting Live vs. Recorded Live broadcasting means no second chances - practice beforehand! Recorded segments let you edit mistakes and improve sound quality Live shows create excitement and allow real-time listener interaction Pre-recorded news ensures accuracy and professional delivery Both styles have their place in campus journalism
