StoryCorps – like Interviews Conducted by 1st, 2nd and 3rd Graders.
1st, 2nd and 3rd graders chose a family member to interview for a class presentation. They used NPR StoryCorp’s suggested question list and designed a presentation board. Parker shared about the 9-foot-tall snowman her grandmother made, and students supported each other with questions and comments after each presentation. And of course they applauded in appreciation of all that hard work.
