This spring, TT educator grants helped a group of 10th-graders in California conduct an oral storytelling project. The students recorded unique moments of their family histories, collecting stories in one-on-one interviews with family and community members.
Funds from the TT educator grant provided students with the technology they needed to record and edit their interviews. Students shared their work with the class and with the school at large.
Check out the audio clips below for interviews with students’ families.
