Hey Emily and Mike~ Which of the recordings would you like to analyze? @http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/edhtml/eddctit.html I'll find the NARA sheet for audio. Jean

Hey guys, oh man, this is tough picking one. I just listened to a couple, the Santa Claus Hides in your Phonograph is kind of cute, for little kids. The Let Us Not Forget Message from Edison is about remembering those who fought in WWI. So far I really liked the Uncle Josh Buys an Automobile which is a comedy. I listened to the beginning and it was about buying an automobile for the first time and references getting rid of his horse and buggy and ordering the car from a catalogue. I don't care, I'll be happy with anyone that we pick! Emily

Wow-- I just listened to the Uncle Josh Buys an Auto. It's one long run-on sentence, broken up by a few chuckles here and there. I'd prefer this one over any of the music recordings. Liked the fact that I could understand the words better than some of the others too. I'm fine with using this. How about you Mike? Jean

Hello, I did the analysis, but I will have to type it up tomorrow at work. Since week 2 my laptop has been broke and I'm borrowing my mom's laptop but it doesn't have Word and I can't save anything to the Adobe pdf. I actually just downloaded the new version of adobe but now it won't even open the file...So, I wanted to post my analysis here so you can see it if you work on it tonight, and then tomorrow I can type it into the file at work! Whose voices: Cal Stewart Date: 1915 Where was it made? A studio? I looked quick on wikipedia (great souce I know), they claimed he recorded these segments with Edison for public entertainment. Type of Speech: Entertainment broadcast Unique physical qualities: narrated? Tone/mood: comedic, upbeat 3 things I think are important: 1. The description of how the early automobiles were started (mention of a turn-crank). 2. The accent Cal Stewart uses to make it funny. It reminds me of the Beverly Hill Billies. 3. In order to afford the auto Stewart says he had to sell cattle, grains, ox, hay, and get a mortgage on the farm. This shows he uses cash, not a loan, to pay for it. Why was it made and for what audience? This was made to record Stewart's comedy act for the public to enjoy. What evidence in the recording helps you know why it's made? Periodically, Stewart gives a big laugh. 2 things about life in U.S.: 1. People first bought automobiles from a mail-order catalogue, not a car dealer. 2. Before automobiles, people got around by horse-pulled buckboards. Judging by the end of this act, not everyone was impressed with the automobile to keep using it. He says next time he'll be joyriding in his buckboard. A question to the broadcaster: Did people have to have a driver's liscense to operate the early automobiles? Info. gained that's not conveyed in transcript: Stewart's accent and speech manuerisms. He speaks a little slow. - Emily Hey Guys. Sorry I'm a little late getting to this. Probably won't get to listen till later tonight(Uncle Josh) after kids go to bed. I'm not slackin just on a different time schedule than most. Looking forward to working with you both. I'll do my own write up and we then can compare all ours. Thats how we did our first group project and got full credit. The second one we just added on to the first one done and got not so great results at least from a grade standpoint. Go Phillies!!- Mike  Hey now...we're rooting for the Yankees here! And I won't work on it till much later as well. Great work Emily! thx Jean

Hi Mike, No problem, I understand completely! I usually don't do anything until after 8, my daughter just took a long nap this afternoon so I did some stuff earlier. For the second part to this assignment I'll create a new link to get it started. Do you think we should all post our own comments and then combine them together? And I have to agree with Mike, Jean, Go PHILLIES! Emily

Lesson Ideas

Here's the analysis on the NARA doc. jean Feel free to add or edit on this. I want to listen to it again before adding anything. Is the only voice heard Stewart or should we also include the interviewer/narrator? However, there is limited space in some areas on the NARA worksheet where more would be better. jr

Here is my NARA analysis. I will try and look at the one's you guys did and see where we overlap. But I wanted to do my own first to show evidence of collaboration.

I'm posting my NARA sheet as well. I'm not sure from the assignment on the PLS site if we were each supposed to do one and post and then do the lesson idea page together or if we were supposed to post ONE NARA sheet for the group. How did you interpret that? jean

Hey Jean, thank you SO MUCH for typing my analysis into the NARA. I think now we are supposed to combine them to one NARA sheet, that's what we did with the last assignment and got full credit. We can save one to a new name and then add whatever you think is important from yours to the final copy then proof read it. Mike, I really liked how you worded your analysis that people were skeptical this car phenomenon would take off. Emily

Ok, I'm having a LOT of trouble with the wiki and the NARA sheet this time. No idea why. The wiki has closed out on me multiple times with the message "we are notifying wikispaces of the problem." UGH>>>>> The issues with the .pdf NARA have to do with saving (or not allowing me to save)......However, I have combined some of the comments from each of our NARAs into one. Feel free to make more changes and then when you think it's done, mark it FINAL. I think that's the plan--right? :) jean I do think we need to just turn one in as a group, but I think showing that everyone at least did one on their own before we combined all answers shows collaboration. The above one looks great! Mike

PS- Anyone know where the Self Evaluation form for this project is? It says its under the Getting Started section but I can't find that anywhere. Help!!

I used this: Jean

Looks good guys! Jean, thanks for posting the rubric :) - Emily

Thanks Jean. Everything looks great. Mike
