The purpose of our project is to create an Elder Interview Process that will bridge the intergenerational knowledge gap and teach students about watersheds. Our first step was to create an interview template for the students. The interview template would consist of guiding questions to help them conduct an interview. We tested this template by conducting our own interviews with elders around the Santa Fe area. Our second step was to create instructional videos for the students to watch. These videos would teach the students how to conduct appropriate interviews, with topics such as respect, consent & ethics, and active listening. After gathering data about conducting interviews, we scripted and recorded four videos. Then, we conducted a trial run with a group of students to test our assignment. We used their feedback to make adjustments to our final product. The Elder Interview Assignment consists of an interview template and four instructional videos, which were presented to our sponsor, River Source, at the end of our time in Santa Fe.
