The Rutland Herald reports that third graders at Fair Haven Grade School will spend the next six weeks embarking on an oral history project funded by the Vermont Historical Society. "Students will interview teachers, school administrators and members of the community" in order to "uncover the long lost names, forgotten anecdotes and untold stories about the people who have lived in their community." Students have already picked the individuals in the community who they will interview. After the interviews are complete, "each student will write a summary of their question-and-answer session, and the reports will be displayed at the Fair Haven Historical Society." Recently a guest speaker from the Rutland Herald gave students advice on hot to conduct an effective interview. Students learned "how to prepare, how to ask the right questions and how to write accurate, concise stories."
