YEB Spotlight Piece: AP Slackers by Heather Tyner
Review by Minnie B.
Heather Tyner's clear, concise narrative provides an interesting look at AP slackers, students who have little to nothing to do after their big tests in May are over. This is a tightly-packed radio segment and disperses quite a bit of information within that time. However, one of the major downsides of the short length of this piece is the rushed interviews. Tyner's report could have been made stronger through a short clip from another student with a differing viewpoint, to parallel the different teachers' methods. Overall, this was a clean-cut piece on a unique topic. Great work!
