Students Chronicle and Celebrate The Lives of St. John's Elders
Students in a Senior English seminar partnered with elders from St. John's Home in Rochester, NY, and conducted one-on-one interviews to capture the elder’s life history. The elder’s story was then turned into a mini-biography of the individual, which was given to the elder, his/her family, and the staff at St. John’s Home.
The elders are being provided with companionship, an opportunity to let their voices and personal memoirs be told, and a living history to be passed down to their families.
How did the students benefit? The Fisher students used their expertise and skills in rhetoric and teaching to create questions, focus the interviews on important aspects of the elder’s life, and turn these into meaningful written documents.
