# 3 Process Go forth and find your story	Mrs. Gladys Forbes, standing on sidewalk with a reporter
How does a national tragedy Influence individuals of that nation?
Before you get started you can print this calendar of events to keep you on target. First you'll be assigned to a team of 3 or 4 students. Each student will become one of the following members of the Journalistic Team that is putting together a documentary… Photographer(s) – This person will be responsible for searching for pictures to use in the illustration of the interview and introduction. Reporter – This person will actually interview a person about their memories of Pearl Harbor and how the attack made them feel. Producer – This person will search for background information and record a short introduction about what happened at Pearl harbor Now although you have individual roles, you must start by working together … View the 8 min webcast explaining the interviews Go to the “Man-on-the-Street” interviews from the days after Pearl Harbor. Read the introduction and the browse by geographic location Listen to (while reading transcript) at least 5 interviews from 5 different locations  Together you must now decide on the questions that you will ask in your interview. Question 1 – What is your name and age? Question 2 – Where were you born and raised? Question 3 – Where were you December 7, 1941 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? You must write down 3 to 5 additional questions If you need help try this… Question Generator (focus on the questions about war that apply to this assignment) Turn in your interview questions to the teacher before going on. Time to divide and conquer… Photographer – Now that you have listened to some interviews, you are going to start looking for pictures that illustrate what people felt and what happened. You will be searching the photos in the American Memory collection of the Library of Congress. As you find photos that you think will go with the interview or introduction, save them to a new file on the desktop named WebQuest (you may have to find more after you hear the interview and introduction) Reporter – You will take the questions that your group wrote and a digital recorder provided by the teacher and go interview a person who has memories of WW2. If you have a grandparent, great-grandparent, or family friend that you would like to interview that is fine. If you do not know anybody in that age range, the teacher will help you get in contact with a local nursing home. Producer – You will need to start searching for background information about Pearl Harbor. Use the information provided in your textbook, the Library of Congress, and a few additional sources to compile a short summary about Pearl Harbor to use as an introduction to the Documentary. Some useful links: Today in History DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY -- NAVAL HISTORICAL CENTER Eyewitness to History Once you have finished writing the summary, borrow a digital recorder from the teacher, find a quiet space, and record your opening to the documentary (you can edit it later if you need to) Come back together – The reporter should share his interview with the rest of the group and upload it onto the computer. Save it in your WebQuest file on the desktop. The photographer shares the pictures that he has saved and the group decides which ones to use with the interview (at this time the photographer may need to find new or different pictures) The producer will also upload his audio introduction onto the computer. Save it in your WebQuest file on the desktop. Work together to choose photos that will be used with the introduction. Do NOT go on until you have saved the audio files and the pictures that you plan to use in the file on the desktop! Making a Movie… You will be using Movie Maker to create your final project. Print this direction sheet to get started.
