That Public Radio Documentary You Just Listened to Was Made by High School Students

Every year, the eighth graders entering Janet Morford’s social studies class at the University of Illinois Laboratory High School (Uni) learn how to conduct oral history interviews.   This is a common project at many high schools. I remember learning how to do something similar. Many of my friends recall doing the same. A lot of us interviewed our grandparents or people in our neighborhoods. Some of us recorded them. And then we moved onto other subjects. The project ended. My parents might have the cassette tapes in the attic.
