Students widen historical and cultural perspectives as they compose and publish oral histories of their own family's immigrant experience or of someone in their community. Witnesses from Hawaii, Japan, and Holland share their candid testimony of the events of Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Hiroshima, and the life of Anne Frank. Students examine photographs of events and artifacts and also publish wartime oral histories of their own relatives and community members in the online World War II Memory Book . Scholastic's new Writing Workshop series debuts with an oral history workshop. The Writing Workshop guides students through each step of the writing process, and includes interactive exercises designed to enhance punctuation and listening-comprehension skills.
Students publish their final work online.
