    Sharing Stories of Success:

    An Interview/Research Project & Technology Playlist

    Success can be defined in many ways: success in careers, business, in family life, in the
    arts, in helping others, in spiritual domains. Interviewing successful people can help us all to find
    way to achieve the success we want. You may interview a successful person or do research on
    the Internet about a successful person. Follow these steps. Additionally, you must use one of the
    technology websites provided below -or similar technology- to create and present your project.

    Step 1: Work with a partner. Before conducting the interview, decide on the person you want
    to interview and the reasons why you believe interviewing this person will be helpful. Also
    decide on the type of project you want to create: a video preview, a podcast, or a digital comic
    book.

    1. Write down the name of a successful person it would be possible for you to interview
    (or research).

    2. Write at least three reasons why you believe understanding this person’s success will
    help you strive to realize your dream.

    3. Create questions that you want to ask this person. Brainstorm with your partner as you
    formulate at least five questions in preparation for your interview.

    4. Contact the person you want to interview and set an appointment. Make sure he or she
    is willing to be recorded on video or audio if you choose the video or podcast project
    option.

    Step 2: When you meet with the person you have chosen to interview, do the following.
    1. Explain to the person why you chose to interview him or her.
    2. Take notes as you listen to the person’s response to your question.

    Step 3: After you have conducted the interview or done research on the internet, work with
    your partner to write a summary of your findings. Try to use the “language of success” learned
    in the unit as you discuss the person’s insights about success.
    1. Examine your notes from the interview.
    2. Write a summary of the interview. What have you learned? What can be applied to your
    own career path?
    3. Prepare your project. See details below.

    Step 4: On the due date, bring your project to class and show us your final product.
    In class, we will share our presentations.
    Step 5: After presentations:
    1. Write a self-critique about your project of 250-350 words.
    After giving a speech in class, students will prepare and submit a self critique
    of the Informative/Historic Speech given. The critique may include preparation
    insight and/or hindsight, presentation strengths and weaknesses, perception
    of audience reactions, use of visual aids in the speech, delivery strengths
    and/or weaknesses, evidence included, goals for the next speech, etc. The
    total content must be 250 – 350 words.
    2. Write a peer-critique of a classmate’s project 250-350 words.
    Each student must critique the interview project a classmate presented. This
    critique will be shared only with the instructor and not given to the chosen
    classmate. Included in the critique may be presentation strengths and
    weaknesses, content impact, use of visual aids, delivery strengths and/or
    weaknesses, evidence included, etc. Total content must be 250 – 350 words.

    Technology Playlist:
    For this assignment, please choose one of the following technology options through which you
    will present your findings.

    Animoto: Video Project

    To complete this project, you will video record the interview. Use Animoto to create an
    inspirational video about success. This video will be 3-5 minutes in length. You should include
    music, titles, and effects that add to the inspirational quality of your video presentation. See the
    link below for a quick tutorial on getting started with this video editing tool.

    Stroyboard That: Digital Comic Book Project

    For this project, you will first Interview your subject. You can record them if they
    approve or you can just take notes on what they say. After you interview this person, create a
    storyboard to illustrate scenes from this person’s life that display how the person you’ve
    selected achieves success. You might create some panels that detail their daily routine as well
    as monumental moments from their journey to the success they have now attained.

    *NOTE: If you choose to research someone whom you cannot interview in person, you can use
    some of the technology options to pretend like you interviewed them. We’ll know this is a
    creative adaptation for learning, so you can take some liberties. However, your information
    should be accurate and you should use APA citation to document the sources from which you
    retrieved your information.
