Service Learning: Service through Oral History Projects
Spivey, Michael
Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, v79 n2 p69-70 Nov-Dec 2005
Service learning allows students to learn more about their classroom instruction through involvement with their local community. It is both a service given to the community, as well as a practical way for students to reflect on what they have been studying in class. The author of this article explains a service learning project which will be very amendable to, and meaningful for, middle and high school classes in the social science areas. It focuses on an ongoing project involving the author's own classes in sociology, and includes information on how this project can be duplicated, with a focus on several potential and fruitful topics that students can explore.
