Inspired by StoryCorps and generously supported by the Big Shoulders Fund, Sophomore English students at Holy Trinity High School in Chicago, Illinois completed their first Oral History Project in December 2017.
The mission of StoryCorps is "to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world." Learn more about StoryCorps' work and mission here: storycorps.org/ In this unit, students participate in practice interviews with friends and family to build critical listening and interview skills, culminating in their final projects that can be found here on this site. Interviews will be archived and saved here, preserving an oral history of Holy Trinity's sophomore class throughout the years. |
