New Fashioned Canning
Preserving Stories & Making Connections
with Families & Students
in the Oral Tradition
For 9th–12th Grade Teachers
With Maralina Bennett Milazzo
We all wish we could go back to someone we love and say, “tell me about the time…” Let’s give our students the tools to get these stories written and recorded for future generations, and, at the same time, make crucial connections with parents and family members. Using several different methods for recording, follow a journey through the lives of others as your students preserve the stories of their family members and their ancestors. Oral and written biography methods will be explored. Be ready to “plum” a good story of your own to record for your own family!

I really enjoyed the speaker. I wish the word about the workshop had gotten to me sooner. I will use the book, Plague 1793, in my class. I like to connect history and language arts, and I think this would be an excellent way. Thank you for the opportunity.
