Introducing Each Other: Interviews, Memoirs, Photos, and Internet Research.
Sinning, Karen
Middle grades students read, write, speak, listen, and research as they interview a partner and write an article, write a personal memoir, take partner photographs, and use the Internet to find pictures and information illustrating their partners interests. Results are shared in the form of a poster and a classroom presentation. During the fifteen 45-minute class periods, students will: learn to conduct an interview using appropriate techniques and available technology; maintain a clear focus in writing an interview article; write a personal memoir; revise and edit for publication; use the Internet for research; learn the difference between primary and secondary sources for research; plan and carefully take a photograph of an interview subject; complete a project integrating writing, photography, research, and graphic design; and present the results of the project to a class group. The instructional plan, lists of resources, student assessment/reflection activities, and a list of National Council of Teachers of English/International Reading Association (NCTE/IRA) Standards addressed in the project are included. Handouts on interviewing, introducing yourself, memoir planning; and rubrics, a photographic plan, and a scoring key are attached. (RS)
