Student Earth Day Storytelling Project Guide Overview Earth Day (April 22), and the days or weeks surrounding it, is a time for reflection about the state of the environment, our impact on it, and how we can collectively help protect it. The modern environmental movement—widely acknowledged to have been kick-started by the first Earth Day in 1970—encourages present generations to take action to preserve the earth for future generations. One way to help capture this intergenerational environmental commitment is through the use of storytelling. This guide outlines a student storytelling project in which student journalists interview adults to find out: What are you doing—or what could you do—to help leave the natural world at least as well off as it is now for my generation? Purpose The primary aims of the Earth Day Storytelling Project are to: — Increase awareness among the student journalists and their audience of ways in which the adult interviewees are helping to take care of the environment — Increase awareness among the adult interviewees of how much the student journalists and their peers care about the state of the environment and the environmental degradation issues they will be responsible for addressing as they get older — Encourage the adult interviewees—and, in turn, the student journalists and their audience—to do more to protect the environment for their own and future generations — Build connection and empathy among interviewer and interviewee — Provide hands-on experience for students on interview techniques, recording and editing equipment, and communicating with adults and peers Resources Equipment Stories can be recorded using audio or audiovisual content, or in print, with as basic or as sophisticated equipment as is available. iPads may be available from the district. Students also may be able to use the recording and editing equipment at the new Spotify House studio at Kealing Middle School. Contact Jen Cregar at [email protected] or (512) 414-3072 for more information about loaner iPads or accessing the Spotify House.

Interview Opportunities The stories can be captured at school or in the community. Interviews may be conducted in any language; multiple languages are encouraged. Student interviewers are also invited to interview guest speakers, exhibitors, and attendees at the community-wide Austin Earth Day Festival being held at Mueller Park on Saturday, April 23, from 12-7 pm. Austin ISD will likely have a booth at the festival where student interviewers may check in and host interviews, or they’re welcome to roam the event. Students may wish to schedule interviews ahead of time with guest speakers or exhibitors. Contact Jen Cregar at [email protected] or (512) 414-3072 for help connecting with potential interviewees. Students are encouraged to develop their own interview guide or plan, but keeping the focus on the central question of: What are you doing—or what could you do—to help leave the natural world at least as well off as it is now for my generation? (Alternate wording: What are you doing—or what could you do—to help preserve the environment for my generation?) Optionally, students may ask interviewees to sign an Earth Day pledge. See Appendix A for a sample pledge. Students are encouraged to take the pledge, too. Anyone who takes the pledge is asked to share their pledge via social media @AustinISDGreen or using the hashtag #AISDGreen. Story-sharing Opportunities With interviewer and interviewee permission, Austin ISD would like to share the captured stories on the Austin ISD home page and sustainability website, via social media, on AISDTV Channel 22, and possibly through local media and community partners. Please request interviewee permission prior conducting the interview. See Appendix B for sample media consent forms. To have stories published by Austin ISD, submit stories to Jen Cregar at [email protected] by Friday, April 29. Audio, audiovisual, or written submissions are accepted.
