Interview Project

The author of Bud, Not Buddy, Christopher Paul Curtis, gives wonderful advice in the last words of his novel. He states, “Go talk to Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad, and other relatives and friends. Discover and remember what they have to say about what they learned growing up. By keeping their stories alive you make them, and yourself, immortal.”

Please conduct an interview with a grandparent. If grandparents are not available, then the interview can be done with a parent, aunt, uncle, etc. The idea is for you to do this project with someone from a different time period. Therefore, the older the better! J

You should select 10 interview questions to ask this person about their life growing up, history they experienced, etc.

The project will be presented to the class in one of the following ways:

-Video the interview (This must be sent to Mrs. Thomas via e-mail: ejthomas@oconeeschools.org)

-Transcribe the interview in a script format.

- Write the interview in report form (in your own words.)

Due Thursday, March 10^th!
