Get Ready for The Great Thanksgiving Listen 2022


During Tuesday night time’s episode of Two EdTech Guys Take Questions the subject of audio recording got here up. That prompted me to go on slightly little bit of a tangent (as I’m vulnerable to doing) about The Great Thanksgiving Listen hosted by StoryCorps. 

The Great Thanksgiving Listen hosted by StoryCorps is again for the eigth 12 months in a row. This annual occasion is meant to get individuals to document audio tales with household and associates. The Great Thanksgiving Listen was initially developed to get highschool college students to document the tales of their dad and mom, grandparents, and different older members of the family. It has expanded over time to be open to anybody who desires to take part.

StoryCorps has at all times supplied supplies to assist college students and academics become involved in The Great Thanksgiving Listen. Some of these sources embody a video overview of easy methods to use the StoryCorps Connect platform to remotely document tales. If college students can document in-person, the StoryCorps cell app is an effective recording device to make use of. Resources for academics embody lesson plans, handouts, and even letters and a permission slip that you may ship dwelling to assist clarify the challenge to oldsters.

Applications for Education 

I like Thanksgiving and I like oral histories. I’d have my college students take part in The Great Thanksgiving Listen as a approach to have them collect native historical past tales within the context of private tales. Before The Great Thanksgiving Listen got here alongside I did this type of challenge with a social research class by having them use VoiceThread to document their dad and mom’ and grandparents’ tales about going to our native county truthful.

This video supplies little tip about recording that makes post-production slightly simpler. It’s one you will wish to educate to your college students earlier than they document for The Great Thanksgiving Listen.
