Got
Roots? Doing an Oral History Project
Investigate the life of the Thomas and Elizabeth Springer
family in New Castle, Delaware. See if you can figure out what life
was like 200 years ago.
Take LOTS of notes!
Create a narrative in which you are a member of the
Springer family. Pick a period of time in your life...a day, a week,
or longer...and through your narrative tell what your family's life
is like. (hint...Think back to Harris and Me. Tell your story as "me"
did.)
Additional requirements:
• believable dialogue
• obvious beginning,
middle, end
• detail and description
of the time and events
• appropriate word
choice
• minimum two pages,
Times New Roman, 14, double spaced
Use your notes, the Web site and all the clues and explanations to
help you in your writing.
