    A1: Survivor interviews can help students practice historical inquiry by investigating how one story fits into larger contexts. #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Dec 19 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A1) Hearing different experiences from survivors can help Ss recognize that not all experiences same & what may account for diffs. #sschat
  • tsocko Dec 19 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A1: Students are drawn to the story of genocide victims. Trying to grapple w/ the why & how keeps attention & fosters deep thinking. #sschat

    A1 Leads to a humanizing curriculum & allows Ss to listen to & analyze different perspectives #sschat
  • scottmpetri Dec 19 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A1 Interviewing Skills need to be explicitly taught to our Ss. My 1st assgnnmnt is interviewing parents re: 9/11 #sschat
  • STLinOK Dec 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A1: Kids are curious & survivor stories help them see how individual stories fit into a broader picture #sschat
  • GeoJo22 Dec 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A1 I haven't but now I am intrigued. Perhaps evaluating accounts, corroborating evidence. #sschat
  • judyrichter2001 Dec 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A1 Genocide is a hard topic for Ss to wrap head around. 1st hand accounts ground it, esp when Ss can see self in story #sschat
  • USCIWitness Dec 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    Yes! And the students are able to engage with survivors differently than through a text book. #sschat
    In reply to @tsocko
  • dankrutka - Moderator Dec 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A1: Also, individual historical interviews humanize events in aesthetic ways that summaries & statistics cannot. #sschat
  • tsocko Dec 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    Agreed. Need to teach students to read body language and to hear the silence...skills lost to many due to modern tech. #sschat
    In reply to @scottmpetri
  • EmilyLepkowski1 Dec 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A1: Voice is at the core of this...too often dominant narratives don't include these voices that must be analyzed #sschat
  • MrsRicklis Dec 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    I think the word "genocide" is scary for kids & intimidating for teachers. How much or how little is too much or too little? #sschat
  • spotsjaws Dec 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A1: By speaking to survivors it gives students opportunities to dive deeper into history and really exploring inquiry. #sschat.
  • USCIWitness Dec 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    Interesting concept. Using testimony to also introduce students to the importance of interviews - listening. #sschat
    In reply to @scottmpetri
  • STLinOK Dec 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A1b: Having a real person in front of you makes the events so much more REAL. Memorable for Ss #sschat
  • USCIWitness Dec 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    Yes exactly! Testimony gives a face/story/connection to history. #sschat
    In reply to @dankrutka
  • MsHolmesTeach Dec 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A1 Honestly never thought of it. Would build empathy/critical thinking skills. Show Ss real life examples of historical atrocities. #sschat
  • spotsjaws Dec 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    I couldn't agree with you more! #sschat
    In reply to @judyrichter2001
  • tom_shields Dec 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A1: great to build inquiry skills by asking questions and by learning to listen. #sschat
  • tsocko Dec 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    It needs to be contextualized for Ss. Scary if you send them off to learn, must be guided, especially for middle school. #sschat
    In reply to @MrsRicklis
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Dec 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    So true. The statistics becoming overwhelming and can remove the individuals from the events for Ss. #sschat

  • benjamintress Dec 19 @ 7:20 PM EST
    A1. May lead Ss to ask, "How long after the event did the survivor give the interview?" as means of judging reliability #sschat
  • MsHolmesTeach Dec 19 @ 7:20 PM EST
    Love that! My 7th Ss weren't alive on 9/11; would be a great intro to how historical events shape our world. #sschat

  • USCIWitness Dec 19 @ 7:22 PM EST
    It seems many of you have taught or been thinking abt teaching w/ testimony. So for question 2 let's talk about critical thinking. #sschat
  • spotsjaws Dec 19 @ 7:22 PM EST
    It is a matter of perspective and age. With my Ss I get into the genocides of Darfur and Rwanda. It is a lot to absorb. #sschat

    Yes, and corroborating individual interviews alongside larger trends & events requires them to investigate history's complexity. #sschat

    We used to have a holocaust survivor come in to speak to our students for the past 10 years. She just recently passed away. #sschat
