Two STUDENTS sit together. STUDENT 1 is reading from a tablet while STUDENT 2 watches a TV off screen.
STUDENT 1: Oh, wow!
STUDENT 2: Shhh! I’m trying to watch the game!
STUDENT 1: I know, but check this out! I’m reading an article on Patrice and it’s amazing!
STUDENT 2: I saw that but I’d rather watch the TV special I saw last week.
STUDENT 1: I’d go for the article. You can learn so much about the challenges he faced growing up and how hard he worked to perfect his shot and all about his life philosophies.
STUDENT 2: You get plenty of that from the TV special, and a lot more.
STUDENT 1: Really? That sounds awesome.
STUDENT 2: You can actually see the street where he grew up and see him get emotional when he sees all his friends. And no text can capture the feeling you get from seeing him win his first championship.
STUDENT 1: True. I guess each medium, like text or video, has its pluses and minuses.
STUDENT 2: They do.
STUDENT 1: With a print article, you can get lots of information and sometimes charts, graphs, and photographs.
STUDENT 2: Not to mention you get to practice reading.
STUDENT 1: And with an audio recording, you don’t get to see things visually but you get different sounds, from the tone of a person’s voice to the sounds of a cricket’s chirp.
STUDENT 2: Patrice grew up with basically only a radio and he seemed to really like it.
STUDENT 1: And if a picture is worth a thousand words, is a video worth even more? I mean, I guess it all depends on what you want to communicate to your audience.
STUDENT 2: I’m gonna have to say that a video is definitely worth even more. Especially when you’re watching sports.
STUDENT 1: Yeah, that makes sense. There is so much more to capture with video.
STUDENT 2: Now, can we get back to watching the game? It’s almost halftime.
STUDENT 1: Oh, right. Yes, please.
The STUDENTS look off screen, towards the TV.
STUDENT 1: Score!
STUDENT 2: Yes!
