Wondering who might be the next Ken Burns? the next Lynn Novick? You might find her at St. John’s Episcopal School in Dallas, Texas, where seventh grade students are hooked by history when they dive deep into family stories. Students conduct an oral history interview of an older family member and use that new knowledge as a point of departure to research and produce a short historical documentary film. As students share their learning with each other, we have experienced how time has intertwined the individual threads of history, revealing the ways in which our perspectives complement and challenge one another. Explore how these individual stories are woven together to tell a larger one: OUR STORY at St. John's.
Begin your journey by FOLLOWING THE THREADS to explore exhibits built around the rich connections between and among family stories.

Use the LARGE BLUE TABS at the bottom of each exhibit page to follow the thread through the site, examining how individual films and associated objects relate to one another. Some objects may lead to a different THREAD in the story, showing how stories weave together to tell a more complex narrative.
