Interview Guides

Everyone has a story to tell. At Our Stories™, we want to help you and those around you capture your stories and share them with the world. These guides, designed for students (and their teachers) and for adults, will help you:

  • Choose storytellers to interview
  • Practice your interview and recording techniques
  • Ask questions that generate great stories
  • Save the stories you collect for sharing with others

We hope these guides inspire you to collect and share your own stories. Feel free to print and share them with others.
