Field, Sherry L.; And Others
Social Studies, v85 n6 p256-61 Nov-Dec 1994
Reports on a study of 16 elementary students' personal narratives on their historical memories about the Gulf War. Maintains that much can be learned about students' historical understanding when they tell about an event in story form. Suggests further research into the reasons student narratives were thin and abbreviated. (CFR)
