Digital Media: The Great Thanksgiving Listen

In Digital Media we will participate and upload an interview for StoryCorps The Great Thanksgiving Listen.  You can listen to some of the previous #NeedlesClass Great Listen interviews to get an idea of the expectation but we'll review the specifics in class too.  Each interview should be with an someone older (a family member, friend, or an influential adult in your life) and have at least 10 questions along with a photograph of the interviewer and interviewee along with a signed permission form if they are going to be uploaded.  Make sure you add the #needlesclass hashtag so we can easily find them online.  Below is a StoryCorps favorite animated example.

We will be animating aspects of these interviews later in class so it's a good idea to start with a few warm up questions and don't worry about editing, leave it all in there- sometimes mistakes are the best part!

Digital Media: The Great Thanksgiving Listen

In Digital Media class we are working on preparing for our Storycorps- The Great Thanksgiving Listen project in which each student will interview an elder (grandparent, parent, family friend, ect.). The interview should be recorded via the StoryCorps app on a smart phone and you will use the worksheet provided in class to prepare your questions.  Each interview should have 10-15 question and be under 40 minutes.  The project is due right after Thanksgiving break on Tuesday Dec 1.
