從綠寶石島(Emerald
Isle)到小愛爾蘭(Little
Ireland)：布朗斯堡(Brownsburg)的農業傳統
地方性遺產
您曾帶頭策劃、進行口頭訪談計劃嗎？利用口頭訪談來記錄歷史，即針對某人的生活經驗發問，以便藉由那人的視野來取得當時的生活情況。您有認識任何您想進行訪談的人嗎？也許您認識許多人，而這些人都能夠提供許多在地社區的相關資訊，他們可能是您的父母、嬸母、叔叔、祖父母或任何比您年長幾歲的人。
在印地安納州的布朗斯堡，泰勒(Jill
Taylor)所帶領的三年級生決定進行口述歷史計劃；這些孩子們列出一系列的問題清單，而他們的訪談對像則是小愛爾蘭當地的農夫，這個地區的居民多為1800年代中期時，來自於愛爾蘭的外來移民；另外，學生也會拍照。訪談結束後，學生必須呈交學習報告、挑選照片、繪製印地安納州的鄉村景色及親手縫製一條用來紀念農業傳統的棉被。泰勒太太的計畫非常的成功，她也因此獲頒印地安納州年度教師的亞軍獎項。
下一次，當您必須針對某事做企劃時，試著找出某人進行訪談，這樣子，您就能夠取得該項目的第一手資料了。
Have you ever conducted an oral interview? An oral interview documents history by asking someone questions about his or her experiences in order to learn what life was like through that person's eyes. Do you know anyone whom you'd like to interview? There are probably many people you know who could tell you a lot about your community -- your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents or almost anyone who is a few years older than you.
In Brownsburg, Indiana, Jill Taylor's third-grade class created an oral history project. The children made a list of interview questions for the farmers of Little Ireland, an area settled by Irish immigrants in the mid-1800s. They also took photographs. After conducting the interviews, the children wrote a report on what they learned, selected the photographs, painted a rural Indiana landscape, and hand-stitched a quilt that commemorates the legacy of farming. Mrs. Taylor's project was such a success that she was named runner-up for Indiana Teacher of the Year.
Next time you have to do a project on something, try and think of someone you can interview. That way you will learn first-hand about the subject.
