From Olivia: For T/Th Class

1. Here are the Oral History directions:

You must create an oral history document by interviewing someone of interest (can be directly related to our class themes or NOT).

a) choose your subject
b) write questions that will inspire your interview subject to talk about ideas--the questions should be thoughtfully written
c) choose your oral history method (we have discussed three types)
d) compose an introduction that acts as a framework--include any information you think helps us understand this person
e) post your oral history document (either one page, single-spaced or about 5 minutes audio) on the blog
f) make sure that you tell your interview subject that this will be public--change names, if necessary

*Please note: this is NOT due next Tuesday; it's due by the end of next week (Thursday/Friday-ish). Also, feel free to browse the M/W/F posts for good examples (look right below this message).
