Camellia, W14, Structure

My podcast episode on homophones (tips to differentiate between homophone sets; use/misuse of homophones in social media) generally follows the typical structure of a Grammar Girl podcast episode!  Also, the structure I have drawn applies certain aspects from the Morning Edition structure (from http://howsound.org/2013/03/my-kingdom-for-some-structure/).

The drawing of my podcast episode’s structure begins with a horizontal line.  This horizontal line represents the opening scene where my grammar issue of homophones is introduced.  Then, the structure descends into a small ‘v’ where I go over a brief history/context of homophones.  This is followed by another horizontal line and then a second horizontal line right under it.  These two horizontal lines indicate a return to the topic where I provide examples of how to use certain homophones/my tips to differentiate between the homophone sets.  I include two horizontal lines here because I go over two examples of homophone sets – ‘there/they’re/their’ and ‘to/too/two.’  Lastly, there is another horizontal line (which is a dotted line) that does not connect to the rest of the structure.  I wanted this dotted line to represent an extra aspect of homophones: homophone use/misuse in social media that I explored.  The line is separate/dotted so as to indicate that it is extra information that I found interesting, rather than it being more information to help people with homophone confusion.     

Furthermore, the last horizontal dotted line is separate from the rest of my structure because that is where my podcast episode diverges from a typical Grammar Girl podcast.  A typical Grammar Girl podcast usually ends with solutions/tips to the grammar issue, so it would end with the two horizontal lines that are on top of one another.  However, my podcast episode goes further and that is why I included the extra horizontal dotted line.    

                                                                                                                       

Well, I tried to calculate the number of citations in episode 102 "Icon for Access" of 99% Invisible.  Hopefully, I counted correctly – I counted 23 citations!
