Action Plan

Essential Qs:

How can what older generations connected to the LREI community have experienced help younger generations navigate such trying times full of teen angst and the process of moving up in the world?

Action Items:

I just need either an unlimited zoom account or, if people have don’t have or don’t want to use a zoom account. I also need one or two documentary books (the same goes for movies –> I’ll probably end up watching at least 5 documentaries and taking notes on them) so I can figure out how I can find common themes between everyone in order to tell a cohesive, meaningful story with the answers I receive from each interviewee. –> This is also how I plan to research how I am going to frame this project. I will also be looking at a study the Harris Poll is planning on doing on how older generations feel about certain things –> these questions will create the baseline for my project. I will look at the reasoning behind why the Harris Poll found its answers to the questions they ask (around 4-6)

Learning Goals & General Work Plan:

I will conduct interviews starting the week of April 12th (the earliest being the end of the week of April 5th). I am planning on accumulating at least 30 interviews which should leave me interviewing around one person per day with a week to do initial research, days in between interviews to watch and take notes on documentaries as well as upload, post, and write reflections after each interview.

Documentation Plan:

I will create a blog in which I post recorded interview sessions as well as a written reflection and or any notes I take during the interview that I found particularly important so as to start forming ways to categorize each interview. Eg: types of stories they tell. Kind of similar to sorting movies or books by genre but for interviews. This will also be so I can find major themes to talk about and reflect upon in my final reflection after I finish my blog and all of my interviews.

Learning Goals & General Work Plan and Documentation Plan:

Key Learning Goals:

At the end of every interview, I will write a reflection stating the key takeaways, what I learned in terms of interviewing skills for next time, and other general and standardized information in accordance with the interviewee.
