Listening to Linda Shopes on September 5th was definitely a positive experience in making me feel more comfortable with the Oral History project we will have later on in the semester. I have previously done an oral history for another class and felt that it was sub-par. Linda mentioned not interviewing a family member, which is exactly what I had done. I had been attempting to make my interview about a specific topic but had not prepared myself enough so the interview became too broad.
Linda's seven things to do pre-interview will come in handy when I am attempting to perform an interview this semester. (However I am considering just transcribing an old interview done by Dr. King because I have such a high anxiety level interviewing people).
All week I was trying to think of a good subtitle for our Bridging Baybrook title, but was unable to come up with anything that I felt was witty enough to be a subtitle. I still want to work with the children during the event, having the children draw a "puzzle piece" of themselves that would fit into a larger picture to be displayed somewhere in the neighborhood might be a neat idea. Something similar was done at my elementary school when I was there and it was nice to see our work on display.
Also, having some sort of bake sale at the event/ as fund raising before the event would be good. I definitely love to bake and would put in time to make as much brownies and/or cupcakes as possible.
