So here is a cult classic from the 1980's that has a lot of sociological topics.  Socialization, culture, stereotypes, education, family, deviance, socio-economic status, cliques are some of the main sociological topics studied.  Consider the sociological value of the film and connect the film to your own life.  Consider the writing assignment given to the students in detention by Mr. Vernon.  What sociological implications are present in this writing assignment?

I want you to create a 4-5 minute podcast reviewing the movie "The Breakfast Club."  Your review may take the form of an interview (at least 10 questions), a character analysis study or any other form you may think of.  You will create the podcast by using the program audacity.  A tutorial below is available.  You will then need to export it in a wav. file, change the format to mp3 through iTunes, and then create a free account on podomatic to feed your podcast.  You will then be able to link your podcast to your blog for all to hear.

Add Music and Sound Effects to Your Podcast: Optional 

You can also include music and sound effects on your podcast? However, there are some restrictions. You can only legally use the first 30 seconds of a song free or include music that has no copyright restrictions on it. There are several websites that provide this. However, the quality ranges from excellent to poor. Findsounds.com is a good website to use. For Jazz music try the Internet Archive.
