Project description:Students will interview seniors using DAT recording equipment, and create a publication of seniors' stories.
Connections- How does the project connect with our theme of people, history, and place?
- How does the project interact with the community?
- How does the project connect with other NCRCN members/ sites?
- How does the project invite student planning/student choice?
Students will gain an appreciation of living history of our community through interactions with stories from local senior citizens. Students will learn interview techniques, recording skills, and how to burn CDs from students models in Anderson Valley, will attend training October 8, and receive mentorship through video-converencing with Anderson Valley. Students will choose senior citizens from the local community to interview.
Student Learning- How will the project improve student learning?
- How will you evaluate or assess what students have learned?
- What kind of data will you collect?
- How will you evaluate or assess the community impact?
- How will students share their project and learning with others at their own site, other sites or within the community?
- How will students be involved in the evaluation of the project?
- Will your project have a service learning component?
Three written reflections will be collected for each student in the service learning project. One before the project begins, one during the project and one at the end. Students will use the KWL format. What do I KNOW , what do I WANT to know, what have I LEARNED. In addition one "anchor task" will be collected from each student. (An anchor task is a student work product which demonstrates evidence of student's learning of curricular content.)This should be something that is collected by the teacher ordinarily and may be collected during and/or at the end of the project.
Support- What kind of support would you like from the coordinator/TSA?
- What kinds of funds will you need for the project?
- What other sources might provide additional funding for the project?
