Part three centers on collecting the story from their elder of choice via the interview they prepared for in part two.

This part closes with an encouragement to show appreciation for the elders that shared their time and stories with students.

This mini-lesson will provide students a model of how to conduct their interview. It will also give them an opportunity to practice being a good listener and conducting a practice interview.
