Middle/High School Students: To demonstrate the difference between writing for print and writing for audio, select a story that has been covered by the national press. If using an article on the internet, try to find one reprinted from the hard copy newspaper, not the abbreviated web version of the story. Now find the same topic covered on NPR. Select a student to read the first few paragraphs of the newspaper story out loud, then play the first minute of the NPR story, including the host introduction. Ask students to comment on the different writing style, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Discuss the facts covered in the section, but focus more on writing style than content.

Thrilled by the excitement of capturing audio and telling stories overseas, I left Kenya and moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to continue working as a freelance radio journalist. Listening and recording people's stories in Portuguese was just as powerful as it was in English.
