Craigard Day Centre
Interviews and Questions
If you were able to do the previous
exercises quite easily, you might like to test yourself with something a bit
more challenging now. You can listen to interviews with Donald Mackinnon and
Marnie Keltie
here and
here. If you need to you can also see transcripts of what they say.
Can you describe your own thoughts about what you’ve seen and heard in these videos? Here are some questions to start you thinking:
What is your impression of the work that is done at Craigard?
Are you surprised, or is it what you expected?
Do you think it’s a good idea for the clients to visit community centres, like
the museum and art centre? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
What is your impression of the people you’ve seen?
Activities:
1. Write a short piece about what you’ve learned about Craigard. It could be a
letter to a friend or relation, or a short article for a newspaper or magazine.
2. Discuss what you’ve learned about Craigard in your class, or with friends or
workmates.
3. E-mail your thoughts to other learners who have watched the same videos, and
start a discussion group about care for people with special needs.
