Oral History Project Scrapbook Goal: To learn about history through living people's memories "Spoken History" is an important way of learning about the past. Another name for spoken history is "Oral History." People who have been part of important historical events have memories of these events. Most of these memories are not written down in books, but "Spoken History" gives you the chance to preserve them. The memories may be about their life during World War II or about growing up in the 1920's. Your mother or father might have a memory of President Kennedy's assassination or the beginning of the Civil Rights movement. Working on the "Spoken History" project is a lot of fun. It's like being a reporter. First, you have to decide whom you are going to interview. Grandparents and other elders have memories about the past that may surprise you! Your Girl Scout Troop Leader, your teacher, and your parents can help you find someone you'd like to interview for this project.
