TOOLBOX: Authentic Narratives & Stories


Army Officer Curtis Price interviews his 10-year-old daughter
Emily Price, at Storycorps' MobileBooth in Fort Bragg, NC.

Looking for authentic narratives, stories, or literature
that's both interesting and appropriate for Common Core lessons?
StoryCorps' Military Voices Initiative has just what you need.

The Military Voices Initiative amplifies the tales of the men and women
serving in the military through accounts from family members or from service personnel
themselves.  If you take advantage of them with your pupils, we–as a nation–are listening.
