What to work on in class, and at home tonight:
Task 1: Make your Interview Outline
- The prototype is here
Task 2: Highlight your Interview Outline with different colors, one for each topic you talked about
So, for example, you might highlight "being in the army" in green, "immigrating to the US" in blue, and "stories about the interviewee's grandfather" in purple.
- The prototype is here
Task 3: Take all the clips you want to use in your "script", and paste them in your "script outline" β
Task 4: Write a transcript of all the interview clips that you want to use in your script
In order to do this, make a copy of your script outline and rename that copy
"____ _____ Transcript".
- ββThe prototype is here
- This is the part that will take a long time. Don't rush - you want to capture the unique ways that your interviewee speaks. This is what makes oral history so powerful!
Once you're done with task 4, you have the first draft of the script for your monologue. Congratulations!
