History vs. Their Story

Through oral history, student's can reinforce their knowledge of the historical content presented in the Standard Course of Study by hearing about historical events from people who remember them and can make a personal connection for them. Oral history allows students to understand the past in a first-person way and to gain a palpable sense of the joy, pain, sorrow, fear, and hope that others experienced as history unfolded.

Please enjoy this digital video developed to demonstrate the power in personal interviews.
