- W1510404985 abstract "Since 1998, my classroom has doubled as a training ground for students to experience archeology, research, service learning, outreach and political activism, all within the history curriculum. In 1998, I began teaching a class I called Research History. It was based on the concept of getting students involved using primary historical data to complete a single class project. This class fit the 12th grade history content standard for Ohio: Analyze primary-source material to see if a historical interpretation is supported. I offered the Research History class as an elective for 12th grade students. It is one of multiple social studies classes I teach. I generally have a class of two to three students at different periods throughout the day, with a total of 15-25 students throughout the year. Over the years, I've realized that my students' after school time is filled with extracurricular music, athletics, and jobs. Students get whatever project we are working on completed during class. Often my students leave the building to conduct research, but on class time. We try to schedule one field trip per grading period. Students have researched our local connections with the Underground Railroad, local United States Colored Troops (Civil War-era African American soldiers), and transcribed the minutes of a local African American G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) post (one of the only two known sets of minutes in existence). Beginning in 2003, my class began working on the Veterans History Project. The Veterans History Project The Veterans History Project was created by a unanimous vote of Congress in October 27, 2000, and has since been coordinated by the Library of Congress and its American Folklife Center. The goal is to collect and preserve the stories of all living veterans before they are lost. According to the Veterans History Project, approximately 1,500 veterans (and their stories) are lost every day. Recently, the Department of Veterans Affairs Data, listed less than six World War I veterans and approximately 3.24 million World War II veterans still living. The Department of Veterans Affairs also estimates that by September 30, 2020, only 210,000 World War II veterans will still be alive. This is a vanishing chapter in our heritage. This Veterans History project also would cover Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. All of these veterans' stories should be preserved. The Veterans History Project comes with a detailed project kit. The kit includes instructions, explanations, information and sample questions for interviews, as well as forms for transcribing and formatting the interview. My history class began this project in the fall of 2003. We began by interviewing several of our local World War II veterans. Because our work was limited to our class period, roughly half of the veterans came to our high school to be interviewed. However, due to heath reasons, we drove to a few of the veterans' homes. Generally, we would do one or two interviews per week. But one day, during the 2004-2005 Christmas break, a veteran invited us to interview a group of veterans from Miami Valley in Yellow Springs, Ohio, about an hour from our town of Washington Court House. Originally, my students put together our script of questions drawn from the kit and used a cassette recorder during the interviews. We soon concluded that we needed a better way to preserve the data, so we digitized and stored the interviews on the computer. Once digitized, we could burn CDs and store the data safely. You could also use a digital recorder, and go straight to the computer. For transcribing purposes, we have found the cassette tapes to be easier than CDs. However, my fear (which has been realized more than once) is that the cassette tapes can break and sometimes are no good. The digital back up is an important step in the process of preserving and maintaining historic accounts. …" @default.
