Subject: 9th graders' oral histories found
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi y'all,
I just stumbled on a pack of oral histories prepared by Washington State
9th graders and thought I'd share. The site and its projects are not
without flaws, but interesting, nonetheless.
http://users.owt.com/rpeto/early.html
These were done my Mrs. Riki Peto's class
<http://users.owt.com/rpeto/peto.html> at Pasco High School in arid
southeast Washington State. Some of her students' other projects are here
<http://users.owt.com/rpeto/stu.html>.
Personally I thought 9th graders were better writers, but I found the
interviews I read interesting and would bet that these kids learned much
more through the interview process than the writing exercise.
Are you wondering how did she get there? I followed a "junk mail" email
tip from "Needle in a CyberStack"
<http://home.revealed.net/albee/pages/SafeSurf.html>a site that lists safe
sites for kids. LC wasn't listeed, but a section called "Students did this
hotlist" looked interesting. Under "social studies"
<http://sln.fi.edu/tfi/hotlists/kid-hist.html> there's a list of links to
student projects in Social Studies.
Later,
Betty
