Audio Assignments

Reenact a 911 dispatch Call

For this assignment, find a previous recorded 911 dispatch call and cover that call using audacity or some other audio device.

Call Me, Beep Me

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?

911, What’s Your Emergency?

Most people don’t get to call 911, and you never get to call 911 unless it’s a true emergency. Well here’s your chance to “Call 911” and have some fun! Create a recording of how you think a 911 call would play out. It doesn’t have to be a real emergency at all! Operator: “What’s your emergency?” Caller: “THERES NO PEANUT BUTTER FOR PB&J SAMMICHES!!!!” Get creative!
