TAKING IT ONE STEP FURTHER
Using the same learning steps, of research, questions, preparation, interview, and final project, the Tell Me Your Stories curriculum can be used as a community outreach program in several ways by having students interview:

• An elder of a different ethnic group
• An elder who is involved in a career that interests the student
• A group of elders who served in WWII, who were active in the Civil Rights Movement, or who were early residents of a local community
• Senior citizens in a center or nursing home who will benefit from having the chance to talk about their lives
