Interviewing
is a science and an art. Thought and
heart go into creating questions that encourage our elders to tell their
stories in the ways they want to tell them.
Our group agreed that it is crucial to ask heartfelt questions about,
for example, relationships to places or family history. In this way, family by family, resident by
resident, the history of Floyd County is watched over and archived at the Floyd
Story Center in the Old Church Gallery. Part
of this semester’s question developing process was captured in this photo by RU intern Bijou Williams at our last Thursday’s workshop.
Check
Elementary Teachers, Katie Thomas and Mary Dickerson, reviewed their potential
interview questions on the big screen while Alice Slusher, Catherine Pauley,
Melinda Wagner, and Floyd County High School teacher, Jason Burgard, made
recommendations.
We
very much appreciate meeting in the Floyd County High School Library and using the
big screen computer technology.
Thank
you Mr. Hollandsworth and Ms. Cox!
