The Task

You will plan and conduct an oral history interview of someone who was alive during World War II. The focus of your questions during the interview will be to document the experiences that the person had during the war era as well as any background information or experiences.

You will produce indexed oral history archival tapes, and then analyze and synthesize the information gained during the interview and research activities. Your version of the story gleaned from this analysis will be developed into a script for video production. Your teacher will select 1 or 2 scripts to be submitted to Old Segundo Productions for possible development for production of a video documentary.
