Duration- 70 min session, 00:04:32 recording :/
Session Activity- Bring map of WATER and a fellow speaker to have a conversation about space.
Item Produced- Notes on camping spots, fishing spots, and some outdoor tips.
Summary- Sadly, even with the correct map, this activity seems like a bust. The speaker was simply not very interested in the map.
Linguistic Effective- Listening to the two speakers talk is a great way to understand cadence, conversation structure, and general phrasing.
Linguistic Ineffective- The map.
Linguistic Provisional Improvements- Maybe find a way to get some more structured two- speaker dialog
Cultural Effective- I find having two speakers helps me have more time to think of questions, and have better outcomes from questions.
Cultural Ineffective- This map was a detailed navigation map of inland waterways in his home community. The fellow speaker (Speaker 2 from now on) was very interested int he map, and gave a lot of information about their spatial memories, but my speaker would not be enticed to share his own experiences. He did answer direct questions, but not with much detail. I am not sure if it is the map or the other speaker, or something else, but it didn't seem informative today.
Cultural Provisional Improvements- Ask speaker if he wants to have just me and him, and if he thinks the time is too busy with multiple people. I like having the extra dialog, and finding much more meaningful, but I am unsure if he feels the same
Tomorrow- I think its time to revisit the totem stories. This time, I want to make sure they are in the correct order, and align them to have a better read through. I hope to produce a better story with the last attempt.
