We had a busy morning preparing for our interviews that start this week. As a class we looked at the different aspects of school life and how this might have been different for students over the last 125 years. As a whole class we built some criteria around how a good interview will look and sound and then agreed upon our question line. The photo shows us in our inquiry groups practicing our interviewing skills - especially the listening and following up with questions to give us more information during the conversation. We have 3 ex students arriving tomorrow to be interviewed so it is time for us to have a final honing of the skills.
Here is the question line and criteria we have created for the recording of the oral histories:
Here is the question line and criteria we have created for the recording of the oral histories:
The brief for each group of students is to:
- Record the interview.
- Greet and thank the interviewee.
- LISTEN to the conversation you are having - ask questions for clarification or to expand on information given.
- Think of this as a conversation rather than an interview - you are there to learn about Clyde Quay’s history…. so enjoy the process!
QUESTION LINE:
Growing up in Mt Victoria/ School Community.
Best and/or worst memories.
How were people treated - including feelings and attitudes of students and teachers.
Punishment/ Rules/ Responsibilities of students.
Playground/ Lunches/ Popular with students/ Use of spare time.
Buildings and Classrooms at Clyde Quay School.
Teachers and teaching style at Clyde Quay School.
Clothing worn.
How do you view things as being different now?
