GLArts: Vocabulary Review and NewsELA

After you are finished with your two NewsELA quizzes,  take some time to review our vocabulary list on Quizlet.com

Interview Conclusions

Concluding: What we have learned.

Example radio story: TAL-How I got into college.

What is the theme of this story about Emir?

What meaning is the author/reporter drawing from the story?

Why does it matter to you or anyone else?

Is there  metaphor or symbol for the meaning?

The meaning of the story (or the reason it matters)  could be . . .

• a life lesson learned
• a universal observation about life and how the world works
• a personal application of the story
• a challenge to do something
• a resolution to conflict

The purpose of your conclusion is to reflect on the layers of meaning in your interview.

Seminar: Interview Introduction

Due by the beginning of class this Wednesday (11/12) you will need:

• Typed and edited introductions to your interviews (saved in Google Drive and shared with me)
•  You must also have your interview recordings downloaded onto google drive.  (Ask me if you don't know how to do this). OR detailed notes from your interview (if you are doing a news story version)

Below is the rubric for your INTRODUCTION:
You will notice that I did not give you a minimum length.  If you do a good job explaining each rubric category, it will probably be at least 2-3 well developed paragraphs (maybe more).

Rubric category	description of 5 points	score 1-5
Purpose	Explain the purpose of the project, why you are personally interested, and what you hope to learn.
setting	Where and when did you meet; describe the room, what else is happening,

my perspective	thoughts and feelings before and during the interview about what is said or how the interview is going
