Encourage tinkering with ideas, relationships, connections. Set up situations where students have to find information not readily available in school texts. Provide opportunity for students to design open-ended explorations of the concept. Provide multiple options so students can plan a unique "proof" of learning.
Let participants conduct a mock oral history interview. Have at least 2 participants role play and others ask questions.
Objective: Participants will work in cooperative groups to share and brainstorm their research plans using the infomration in the index cards.
Activity: Participants will listen to information on how to conduct oral history interviews-how information is researched before an interview can take place. Participants will use the gallery’s database to investigate the topics selected in Q3. Participants will be required to document research for later use.
