One thing that the kids didn’t seem to be able to distinguish was the difference between expert and street interviews. They thought that people who said that global warming didn’t exist were “bad interviews” instead of seeing that they could use those responses as a way to show that there needs to be more education.

Perhaps I could tell them about the practice documentary I started to make with EVC when we interviewed people about their most memorable experience with teachers. While our group interviewed people who had positive memories, some of the groups interviewed people whose school experience was horrendous. If I were making a documentary, I would show the power of teachers have to create lasting memories for students, good or bad.

I’ll try on Monday.
