How to use this Community Interview Project:
This community interview project is based on Brandon Stanton’s famous photography project, “Humans of New York.” Students will learn about the interviewing process and how to conduct an interview within your school community. They will also write a narrative summary to capture the story of the person that they interview.
You can begin this lesson with the Community Interview Slideshow Lesson. This lesson is formatted for both Microsoft PowerPoint® and Google Slides®. Students will explore Brandon Stanton’s interview project, “Humans of New York,” including his interview process for capturing meaningful stories. They will also learn about the interview process, including how to introduce their interview project and how to conduct themselves respectfully, in order to conduct their own interviews.
This slideshow lesson also includes interview question examples in order to model the interview process to students.
As you work through the lesson with your students, they can fill out the corresponding Guided Note. This guided note template prompts students to make note of important information from the slideshow lesson. They will also have space to answer the inquiry-based questions within the slideshow; you can have students fill out their answers before consolidating them as a class with the information provided in the lesson.
Students can then conduct their interviews using the Interview Outline Graphic Organizer provided. This graphic organizer will have students introduce themselves, brainstorm potential questions, conclude their interview, and request a photograph for their project. It also utilizes the W5-H Framework (who, what, when, where, why, and how) to engage in meaningful conversation during the interview process.
To scaffold writing, this resource also includes a narrative summary graphic organizer. This graphic organizer will help students organize the information from their interview in order to capture a story in the style of “Humans of New York.”
A 4-level rubric for the interview process has also been provided for assessment purposes. This rubric is aligned with the Ontario Curriculum for the OLC4O / OSSLC Course. This rubric is also provided in editable and ready-to-print formats to meet the unique needs of your classroom.
