We had our radio broadcast on
20th April. We all came up with an idea of making our own radio broadcast for
the primary school. The purpose was to show our understanding of how a radio
station works.
We first thought of who will do
what. Mutually we decided that Neel Barun and Tamanna will be the radio
jockeys, Jin and Dev will be the people to read the news, I and Vanshika will
quiz the people and Neel Verma and Snigdha will interview the 'six sense' band.
Esha and Louise were to be with the students downstairs to interact with the
listeners during the quiz. We also came up with our place of the studio. Our
plan was to broadcast the radio when the teachers and students will be having
breakfast after the assembly.
The challenge for us was to keep
our voice higher. We also couldn’t see anyone so that’s why we had to be alert.
When we conduct an assembly, everybody concentrates and we can express through
our face, body language and voice. But in a radio we had to show expressions
through our voice only. Also we didn’t know if everybody is listening to us or
not because we couldn’t see them.
I learnt how to coordinate with
my partners and be confident. I also learnt how to communicate through voice
modulation and not by looking at anyone. The learner profile which I tried to
develop was risk-taker and knowledgeable because this was my first time I was
working in a radio and I learnt how to be loud enough so that everybody can
hear me.
I felt very happy and proud of
myself because everybody including Dr. Advani and Mrs. Lamba appreciated us.
Also it was very exciting for me because this was the first time students had
created a 'radio'. It was fun learning how patient we have to be during team
work.
