Join us for a FREE online workshop with MI Diaries & MSU Science Festival on Wednesday, April 6 from 6:00 - 6:30 PM (ET) to learn the secrets of asking the right questions to unlock great stories.

Have you ever tried to ask a grandparent (or maybe a child) for stories about their life, but gotten a disappointing one-word response? Asking questions that unlock great stories is a trickier skill than many people realize!

Since April 2020, MI Diaries has been collecting weekly stories from Michiganders through “audio diaries”. But to get a great diary entry, we need to ask people interesting questions! In this session, you’ll be brought behind-the-scenes of the MI Diaries project and see what makes a great question. You’ll get a chance to come up with your own questions and answer your favorites.

Since April 2020, the MI Diaries Project at the MSU Sociolinguistics Lab has documented changes in the lives and language of people living in Michigan by collecting weekly "audio diaries" during the Covid-19 pandemic. These audio diaries help researchers answer questions about how and why language changes over time.
