Dialogic Interview with your partner
In the start of this project, we partnered up with a peer and asked questions that could be answered in a personal matter or not, just to get a closer understanding of that person.
Interview Questions:
1. What were your early childhood memories from growing up?
2. What does perspective mean to you and what is its importance to you?
3. what critical lens most resonates (connects with/speaks to) with you?
4. When has there been a moment when your perspective on something/someone has changed?
5. Talk about a challenging/difficult/stressful moment from your life so far.
6. What makes you happiest?
7. What do you hope you will leave our school with? What are your hopes and dreams for yourself and your peers?
Afterwards my teacher, Colleen, told us to find our "nugget". That one response that really opened us up or felt some purpose to it and with that we would write a story of your own with the concept coming from the nugget. It could have either been a short story, poem or song/lyrics. With that in mind, I felt my creative juices going and decided a song/poem would do some nice work. Even if creating lyrics is not my specialty.
I partnered up with my friend, Israel. Instead of taking just one nugget, I took two. One of which is how he loves art and expresses himself through it while the other explains how the transition of moving school felt for him and the pros and cons he got out of it.

Brainstorming/Writing Process
In order to create something extraordinary, I decided to connect both of the nuggets to make a story.
