This is Lonnie who is grateful that he can still BASE jump after suffering an accident that confines him to a wheelchair. Sydney Harper, JFK 12th grader, interviewed him after he jumped off the New River Gorge Bridge at Bridge Day 2012.
So studies show something very interesting about being grateful.
Here is a link to a news article that outlines these findings. READ THIS QUICKLY so you know the gist of the study.
With two other people in this class, go over the study quickly and outline how you build a Thanksgiving story for the morning show. Would you include an explanation of the benefits of gratitude and then ask people to list five things they are thankful for? It seems obvious. But how can you do this in a clever way? Is being straight forward the best way? If you had time and in an ideal world, you could animate and use regular audio like the
Thanksgiving eel story from yesterday's NY Times.
Be grateful that you don't live in the Gaza Strip right now and you are dodging rockets or that you lost your house in Sandy. That is a place to start on your own list.
Assignment:
List five things you are grateful for and why. Turn them in for credit.
How would you say them in an interview show? Interview your other group members with their choice and then give them yours. Do this on the Olympus LS 10. It will be going around the room. Be ready when it comes to your group. This may air tomorrow so remember this is a public acknowledgment.
Happy Thanksgiving!
