Sandy Storyline seeks to document stories about Hurricane Sandy and visions for rebuilding through community testimony. It has already collected over 250 stories and hosted exhibitions. The goal is for this "living archive" to foster civic dialogue and allow communities to decide their own futures from the ground up in addressing issues like inequality, climate change and infrastructure.

5. Sandy Storyline highlights the voices and faces of people affected
by the storm, bringing the human impact into the national
conversation about economic inequality, climate change,
infrastructure development and the future of coastal cities in
America.
Sandy Storyline seeks to become the largest living archive of
testimonies about Hurricane Sandy and visions for the region’s
rebuilding. We have already collected more than 250 stories,
organized media education for more than 100 people and hosted
multiple community exhibitions.
This is a moment so big that it requires a new kind of documentary
storytelling: a project designed to foster civic dialogue so
communities can decide, from the ground up, their own futures.

LEADING QUESTIONS
A leading question is a question which
subtly prompts the respondent to answer in
a particular way. Leading questions are
generally undesirable as they result in false or
slanted information
FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS
OPEN QUESTIONS
Open-ended questions are ones
that require more than one word
answers. What was your high
school experience like? How did
you and your best friend meet?
CLOSED QUESTIONS
If you can answer a
question with only a "yes" or
"no" response, then you are
answering a close-ended type of
question.
