Student Story Submissions
The 7th graders at the Agar-Blunt-Onida school district were
assigned a special project late last fall - to interview family
or community members who served in World War II or remember what life
was like on the Homefront.
The students were graded on the quality of their interview questions and
the technical aspects of their writing - i.e. usage, grammar, etc.
Teacher Barb Unruh says after the first couple of interviews, all the
students were excited about the project. Unruh says there were two goals
in assigning this project - to help students connect with their
grandparents and other elders in the community and to preserve these war
time stories that are disappearing as this generation passes on.
Enjoy these written interview conducted by Barb Unruh's 2007-2008 7th
graders from the Agar-Blunt-Onida school district! |
