"VOICES OF OLYMPIC VIEW" - Radio Plays
Scripting and Recording
Students worked in teams with Jack Straw artists to develop radio plays based on stories told in the oral history interviews. After writing their scripts and rehearsing their characters, the students came to the Jack Straw studios to work with engineers to record and produce their dialogue, period music, and sounds.

Reflections
As a tool to fulfill writing standards, each student wrote an expository paper describing their experience creating the scripts and recording them.
In the fifth grade memory book, many students wrote that their experience working with Jack Straw Productions on "Voices of Olympic View" was the favorite memory of their whole elementary school experience. Said teacher Melanie Olson, "I loved it too."
