INTRODUCTION

• Take a blast to the past! Hearing about history
  through the eyes of those who witnessed it first
  hand is the best way to learn. Take a journey
  through history with your parents, parents
  friends, grandparents and so many more! Learn,
  first hand, about the best decade in the history
  of the world. 
• In this web quest, you will be required to
  interview people who were alive in the 1960s to
  learn about their experiences. You will then
  create a totally awesome Photo Story that will
  show the class what you learned about the era!

TASK

• In groups of two, you will be researching the a
  particular area of the 1960s. These areas may
  include, but are never limited to
• Music
• Literature
• Civil Rights
• Dr. Martin Luther King JR.
• John F. Kennedy
• Be sure to have the topic approved by your
  instructor as soon as possible!
• In this project, you will be documenting your
  process in a series of one page papers at the end
  of each week, conducting interviews, and
  performing research that will culminate in a
  Photo Story project.

THE PROCESS!

PART 1PREPARE INTERVIEW

• You must conduct at least interview (more are
  encouraged, and will help you more with your
  project!)
• (Be sure to include all of these steps in your
  process papers!) 
• Set up an interview
• Tell us who the person is, and how you met them.
• How old the person was in the 1960s, and why it
  is important to document their experience
• Prepare a series of questions for the interview
• Be sure to research your chosen topic prior to
  choosing your questions to ensure that your
  questions make sense for the time period.

PART 2CONDUCT THE INTERVIEW

• Conduct the interview
• Make absolutely sure that the voice of the
  interviewee is clear on the tape before you
  proceed with the interview. You will need to use
  the voice in your project!
• Process the interview tapes
• Sit and listen to the interviews and type
  everything you hear on the tape. This will be
  helpful     if you choose to use a direct quote
  over your photo story later on in the project.
• These steps will be due week two! (If your
  are doing multiple interviews, only one is due on
  this day. All additional transcripts will be due
  with your Photo Story. I understand that
  sometimes there are schedule conflicts, just be
  sure to let me know ASAP if these will be a
  little late!)

PART 3RESEARCH AND CREATE A STORY BOARD

• Research your time period and create a story
  board
• Find images from the internet, from magazines,
  and if they will let you, from your interviewees
  house. You will be using these images to create
  your photo story.
• You do not have to use the actual images on your
  story board! They can be simple drawings that
  give the general idea of your picture.
• These steps are due week three! (Guess what?
  you're almost done!)

PART 4CREATE YOUR PHOTOSTORY!

• You will have to talk in this presentation, you
  cannot only use dialogue from your interviews.
• Choose music to play under your narration.
• BE CREATIVE this project is meant to be lots of
  fun!
• All photo stories will be turned in a week
  and a half after the story boards! This should be
  ample time to make a clear and concise project.
  Remember, all of your classmates will be seeing
  this, so make sure it is fun and interesting as
  well as informative!
