PROJECT DETAIL

The “Her- Story” Global Collaboration Project is an opportunity for you to guide your students with identifying and interviewing a women leader of influence in your community or region, and create a celebratory multimedia presentation or video documentary biography project. The learning outcome of the biography documentaries is to provide a powerful learning experience for your students to empathize with these women leaders of the how/why they have overcome career-work-life challenges, as they preserved to achieve their lifetime dreams. Students will gain new perspectives of how the slightest details can contribute to “hidden” factors of social injustice learning moments, that led these women on the pursuit of making change in their communities, and to influence future generations of young women to have access and equity to new learning resources, and career advancements.

STUDENTS WILL

• Identify a woman leader to interview and make a request to interview them.

• Curate a list of interview questions to use when interviewing the women leader.

• Capture the authenticity of the sequenced ``Her-Story” storyline from the interviewee’s perspective, by actively taking notes and storyboarding.

• Utilize audio, video and photos, to capture the emotional tone of the interview story.

• Create a final celebratory PSA video documentary of 3 minutes in length, and publish through the “Her-Story” global project website and shared back with the interviewee.
