What this project is really about
Humans are storytellers. We use storytelling as a means of expressing ourselves and connecting with others. How can we document stories from our communities to understand each other better? How do we write stories with colourful characters and a narrative arc? This project invites students to document human stories emerging from their own communities and neighbourhoods. Students will work in groups to interview people from their surroundings and choose one particular person/anecdote that inspired them. Once they have found a person/anecdote, students will write a short story to document and share an important aspect of their community life. Ultimately, the project aims to nurture the creative storyteller and writer in each of us!
What you'll walk away knowing how to do
This project isn't about memorising facts. It's about building capabilities that transfer — to your next project, your next class, and beyond.
