Family interviews help students engage and dig into their personal history. I find that this is one of the best ways to introduce “primary sources.” Often my students are required to develop a set of questions for a “family member interview.” After gaining more confidence the students then prepare to interview community members. The T. Harry Williams, Center for Oral History has a wonderful list of questions organized by topic. Scholastic developed a kid friendly interview process. Listening to the stories from “way back when” can be a gift to the listener and the speaker. It is my belief that communities bond through this type of activity.
