Directions for Option A, Oral History:
The Oral History Creative Narrative should be divided into different parts to highlight the story of the interviewee. The website should be written in a creative format (Diary, Journal, Newspaper Article, Online Posts), incorporate your relatives' interview answers, and effectively tell their story, while using at least one research article / book / approved website that is incorporated into the creative narrative. Make sure to create a Work Cited page to show which resources were used in the Oral History Creative Narrative.
Students should complete the following steps:
When you create the website remember that it should reflect the experiences of your relative, as well as the time and place they lived. Chose the point of view and writing format that will best tell the story of your relative.
Include at least one research article / book / approved website into the narrative.
Tell a story:
You are telling the story of your relative and you want to present this in an interesting and creative way.
Make sure to incorporate the exact wording from their answers as much as you can so their voice and personality is clear in the paper.
Please do not just list all of the questions you asked and your relative's answers, make sure to tell a story.
Depending on the interview answers, you can tell a longer story or a just part of your relative's story. For example, if your relative talks a lot about a particular time period or part of their life, you can write about just that part.
Be creative:
Find an interesting way to tell your relative's story.
Please do not write an essay-style paper.
Choose a point of view and format for your paper.
Point of View (POV):
1st person POV - you write the paper as if you are your relative, using their answers to the questions you asked)
