Living History Video Project

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Fifth graders videotape an interview with a community member. In this service learning project, 5th graders are matched with a resident at a local retirement center. The students spend time corresponding with this person and ultimately interview them on video to create a documentary.
