Part 1: Using oral history in the classroom

Julia Letts, Oral History Society

This short film provides a general introduction, covering why it's important to embed elements of oral history in your lessons and offering advice on how to do that. Julia also talks about the skills students will learn through using oral history; how it fits into the curriculum at Key Stages 1, 2 and 3; where and how you can find and then use relevant oral history extracts in your lessons; and how you can create your own oral histories.
