Reaction to Storycorps

After looking through the website, I have to say that i really loved it! This is such a great way to learn about the history or stories of normal people who lived ordinary lives. I have never heard of this organization before coming to this website. I find it interesting that they developed a organization where people can bring their loved ones to and have a menaingful conversation with them about their lives. I found the website very straight forward, it tells you where you can contact them to record your own stories, what you should know about the process of recording your stories, you also get to leave with your own copy of the recorded story that you just made, and they ask if they have your consent to keep another copy of your story in the library of Congress. They also had a link for education where teacher can even make a lesson plan about interviewing and storytelling for their students. This website would be a good example for students on how an interviewing process works. They also have short animations of people's stories as well for the public to watch. The main purpose of this website is to present the stories of people from different backgrounds, beliefs, and thoughts the opporunity to share their stories abotu their lives. The website also gives you links read and listen to other people's stories at any time that you want. It is really a great site and I am glad to have been introduced to something that is so meaningful, especially as it is a way for these people to open their heart to the world and have the world lend their ears to hearing this person's story.
