The Great Thanksgiving Listen…Preserving Oral History Today!

Mrs. Engle-Evans 8th Grade American History classes have been preparing to participate in the National project, The Great Thanksgiving Listen.  Students will record an interview with a grandparent, elder in their family, or an elder in their community using the free StoryCorps app to foster meaningful connections within families, communities, and the classroom, and create a firsthand archive of American History and wisdom.  At the conclusion of their interview, they will take a picture with their chosen interview partner and use it to post their projects.  With  parent permission they will be posting this oral history project on StoryCorps.me and it will be archived in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
