Interviews and Project Roll-Out!

As part of our final phase of our Learning Cycle 1 project, you will be conducting an interview of a person NOT of your generation (a person at least a generation or two older than you) who lives in your neighborhood or in West Oak Lane.

• How does this relate to the project?
  • You will be using the interview of your selected person to create a creative vignette of this person and a snapshot of their life.

What will you do with your interviews? With your interviews, you have one of TWO options. You can:

• Present your interview in a podcast, or
• Write a fictional vignette where you create a character that is based on the person and events you captured in your interview.
