Oral+History+Projects

===**Our oral history projects are meant to provide us insights into how to personalize history in our classrooms. The following links offer examples of exemplary oral history projects that contain a wealth of primary source documents. These same projects are part of the social history of our country seen through the eyes of common people who experienced history in their own "personalized" way.**===

===**As a way to personalize history for our students we must use this social history to complement the major political and/or cultural events of a people, be they Americans or other cultures we may be exploring. Oral Histories allow us to get this perspective from individuals who tell us stories about how others, such as minorities, woman, children and the poor, have experienced these political and cultural events. When seen through their eyes it allows our students to "personalize" their understanding through its connection with the experiences of people often excluded from the traditional discourse of a history or culture.** **These primary sources of historical experience enable our students to explore through disciplined inquiry an alternative perspective, thereby creating fertile ground for "interpreting" history instead of "reporting" it.**===
