What you get from sitting round the kitchen table with grandmothers and aunts: Listening skills while being fed, learning to take note of the manner in which stories get told and how generational information gets passed on. What Studs Turkel, Robert Coles have to teach us about documentary. How dialogue is learning to ask the right questions so that stories flow and take on the life of "a speaking person."
