Education
There are terrific resources on teaching with oral history that are available online. Some of the resources that have been useful to the Civil Rights and Apartheid projects are listed on the Resource page as well as at the end of the Power Point presentation included below. This Power Point presentation is designed to use in the classroom to teach oral history interviewing skills. Two more short presentations will be added shortly that explain recording methods and interpretation projects for students to do following their interviews. Another excellent resource for teachers can be found at: www.doingoralhistory.org.
