Study Questions:
1. Consider the shape of the oral histories that you've read so far. How do they all begin? How do they progress? Where have they tended to end? How might you use this in shaping your own oral history?


2. What strikes you as the most interesting/significant aspect of the oral history that you read today? What do you believe you should take away from the oral history? What do your peers need to know about the oral history you read?
