Week 5: Preparing an Oral History

I hope that you got something out of today's session at the Vincent Library. Over the next week, think about one or two things that you particularly appreciated Catherine telling us about, and we will write a card for her in class.

Here is your feedback sheet and the sample paragraph with the references added in to show you how to do it :)

With regard to the readings for next week:

Robertson, pp. 5–13; pp. 21–28 (Ch. 3); pp. 63–72 (Ch. 5) (read this one first as it is covers the simple, practical basics)

Ritchie, pp. 73–103 (Ch. 3). This is a fairly long chapter, but you can probably read this chapter in small sections, as it has lots of subheadings. Each subheading is a question (some of which you have already been asking). So you can read the question and then the response.

My suggestion is that you read each section, then write down one or two points that seem important to you for that section. One way to do this would be to write the question down and then imagine that you have to answer that question in one or two sentences. (This is only a suggestion but let me know if it doesn't make sense.)

Supplementary - these are useful and relatively short, but they are optional.
