Project Ideas

A project that I would love to participate in this semester is something about oral histories. I am somewhat familiar with the idea of oral history and traditions, as I’ve touched on it in some preservation classes and Native history courses with Professor Sellers. Another interesting project idea is recreating cave paintings ourselves. I think this would be a fun in class project or an interesting take home assignment that would be good for individual work. 

The project I am most interested in is creating a podcast or documentary. It would be nice to use some class time (if time permits) to brainstorm ideas for the podcast/documentary and begin writing a script or basic notes to guide the conversation. Then, we could find a time outside of class to record the podcast in the HCC studio as well as spending time editing it if needed. Lastly, I think it would be beneficial for groups to listen to other podcasts created in the class and then have a discussion about the different approaches taken for the podcast/documentary. I think this is a great way to get into the more creative sphere of learning and would make a wonderful group project. 

I created a simple timeline with 3 entries. https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=1Tyge2z9PkGT-xIsrStsyYAqasSnaGyvrkNyhG_4iNTU&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650

    I also love the idea of doing something with oral history and I have had a little experience with that as well with Professor Sellers and in Historic Preservation. I think it works really nicely as an interactive and informative project.
