CAR: Partial Project 2 (due March 14)

Telling your people's stories

Individually, you will interview a family member, friend, or acquaintance who lived through the 1920s, the 1930s, or the 1940s. You will pick which decade you focus on.

You will design the interview and conduct it in the language that is convenient for the person you are interviewing. You may choose to interview them about any decade from the second partial (1920s, 1930s, and 1940s), but the interview should answer the question: How did the decade's historical events affect everyday life in the person's individual context?

On March 14, before midnight, you will make a folder on Google Drive with the name "Partial Project 2" and your name. The folder should have the following files:

1. The video or audio file with the actual interview you conducted, named "Interview_NAME". Yes, it has to be a file. Youtube links will not count. (20% of your grade)
2. A Word document (.docx, 10% of your grade) where you write an account of the event or events your interviewee talked about. It should be between 500 and 1,000 words (10%), identify your relationship to the person you interviewed (20%), and in an essay structure, mention the interviewee's perspective on at least one specific historical event that was seen in class (30%). The file should be named "Mystory_NAME.docx".
3. A picture of you and the person you interviewed. The file should be named "PP2 photo_NAME" (10% of your grade).
