Living History ProjectLaura Wakefield and Joy Penney |
Students learn how to analyze life histories from American Life Histories, 1936-1940 in American Memory. They apply their experience by conducting interviews with people in the community and collecting their life histories. The Living History Project has involved students in oral history for two school years, each with a different theme (transplants, heroes). The oral histories collected become part of an archival collection which tells the stories of individuals in the community during the mid-twentieth century.
