History Project
Please, for this project you are to find an individual who is at least one generation older than you, conduct an oral history interview, then write the “story” of their life. You are to use the standard oral history interview format, an example of which is provided in the attached Oral History Association guidelines. As part of the Oral History Project, you must provide a typed transcript of the interview questions and responses to show that you followed the proper format. Using information obtained during the interview, you will then write the “story” of your individual. This will be the easy part. The transcript has no page requirement other than that it obviously must be long enough to serve as the basis for a 5-7 page essay. The “story” paper must be typed, a minimum of 5 FULL pages to 7 pages in length, double-spaced, 12-point font, with reasonable margins.
