Create an ad to inform people about a charity and encourage them to donate. It can be a real charity or you can make one up!
For this assignment, take something you’ve watched, listened to, or read for DS106 so far and choose a character. Next, become that character and record yourself making a phone call telling the person you’re calling what’s going on with the world. It can be a call to 911, a message to a loved one, etc. When you’re done making your recording, add other audio bits to raise the stakes and tell more of your story.
Link the audio recording in your blog post, and reflect on the assignment. How did what you recorded relate to the character you chose? Why did you choose them?
Visit Frequency 2156 and spend sometime exploring the broadcasts. Then record your own dispatch and upload it. Grab the URL of your own recording when it’s uploaded and share it on your blog. Make sure your recording tells a a story! Use sound effects, music, other voices to develop your story.
Take a before/after photo of a person, place, or thing that has survived the apocalpyse. Then use Juxtapose to share a comparison of your two photos. Try not to rely too heavily on Photoshop or other photo editors to show the changes.
Tell a story using five photos. Basically, that’s it. Figure out the story you want to tell and then take five photos to tell it. If you need to edit, add filters, etc. in order to get the effect you want, go for it.
When the apocalypse happens, it won’t just happen to humans. Everything on Earth will feel the effects. Write a story from the perspective of a non-human thing or being. Tell us how the end of the world has changed their existence for the better or worse.
We all agree to them, but who among us reads them? Terms of Service are baked into our lives, no matter how hard we try to ignore them. For this assignment, imagine it’s your job to write the Terms of Service for the apocalypse. What does that mean? We have no idea — but we’re sure you’ll figure something out.
Find a product on Amazon that could help you survive the apocalpyse. Then write a product review that explains how it actually has helped you survive the apocalypse. See an example. Share what you did on your blog (with a screenshot of your review and link to it).
First, go to your blog and tell us a story. Any story. Fact or fiction. Make it as long as it needs to be to tell it well.
Then, go to Twitter and retell your story, distilling it down into a single tweet. Embed your tweet at the end of the original blog post.
