 Purpose:
To participate in an authentic experience that involves reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

 Process:
Create an Oral History Project on someone who has impacted your life (parent, sibling, colleague, friend, etc.) Begin with an interview to learn the traditions and heritage of the person. Collect artifacts and photographs that represent the person’s life or tell the person’s story. Have the person write a memoir of a significant experience in their life. Research an important topic or event that had an impact on the person. Include the research in your presentation. Compile all the information gathered to create a presentation (PowerPoint, MovieMaker, etc.). The project will be presented in class. For additional information read chapter 1 from the Oral History Project book and view the Oral History PowerPoint below. Post complete assignment in D2L Dropbox.
