The Connected Librarian: Finding Your Stories
How many stories are hiding within the walls of your school, just waiting to be told? This was the question that the fifth-grade teachers and I asked ourselves when we decided to capture the stories of our school, David C. Barrow Elementary in Athens, Georgia, which was built in 1923. We knew that with each year that we waited, opportunities to speak with our oldest graduates were fading away. Moreover, we knew that this project had great potential to bring fifth-grade history standards alive. The Barrow Oral History Project launched into planning.
