On Tuesday, students continued to work in their groups to plan and record an oral history. Each group picked someone to be interviewed, someone to record the interview using a Flip video camera, and people to ask the questions. As a group, students selected questions from the full list to ask in their interview.
The videos from the oral histories are posted on youtube (most of the files are too big to post here, but I will include links soon).
