Oral History Decades Project Objective: Students will learn about the various aspects of American culture and politics during their assigned decade. Students will conduct research and an interview to meet this objective. Directions: 1. Each student will select a decade to research and interview a person that lived and experienced that decade first hand. The options are 1940s-1990s. There will be a limit on the number of students allowed to select each decade. There is a sign-up sheet for each decade available in class. 2. The Research: Create a PowerPoint/Prezi/Blog/Website/song/rap/video/tri-fold, etc. that will include the following information from your decade: Politics - Important elections, major laws, changes in policy, wars, scandals, etc. Economics- How was the economy at the time? Recession, depression, booming? How much did it cost to go to the movies or a gallon of gas or milk? What was the average household income? Unemployment? GDP? Etc. Technology- Were there any important/influential inventions that came out of your decade? How did the inventions impact the American people? Values/Culture- What was society like? How were women and minorities viewed? Any social movements or revolutions during this decade? Popular Culture- Who were popular stars in the world of sports and entertainment? Award winning films? Music of the decade? Fashion styles? Can you find any examples to put in your presentation? Graphics must be included, at least three for each topic. 3. The Interview: Find someone that lived and remembers the decade you have selected and researched. Create 15 questions to ask your interviewee. You can find information on how to create good questions and even look at some sample questions here : http://home.earthlink.net/~ahickling/interviewsuggestions.html It is very important that you ask specific, open ended questions that guide a discussion between you and your interviewee… an Example of a BAD question, “Do you remember when Kennedy was shot?” This question allows for just a yes or no answer, you want details about the event. Example of a GOOD question, “What do you remember about the Kennedy assassination?” It allows for a better response. What if the interviewee doesn’t remember the event you are asking about? Be prepared to ask other questions…That is why you are writing things down as you conduct the interview. ***Each answer to each question should have a 3-5 sentence response, even if you have to ask more questions*** Include your interview in your decade project. Interview you must have: 1. Date of the interview2. Name of interviewee3. Relation to student4. Interviewee date of birth 5. Where interviewee lived during the era6. 15 questions AND the responses (hand write it first, then type later if you can) 7. Picture of you and your interviewee 4.
