English
These stories were originally part of a site-specific audio tour of our school written and recorded by third graders. The stories recount school memories ranging from kindergarten to third grade which are tied to specific locations, landmarks and objects on campus.
While these pieces were originally created to be listened to on-site, they can be enjoyed on their own as well. We also recommend that you listen using headphones.
During the tour, listeners using portable audio players move from place to place, playing the corresponding stories. They are told to stand or sit in specific spots (the front steps of the school, Row N in the auditorium) or notice certain objects (a twisted seat belt on the school bus, the tire swing on the playground.) The third graders narrate their own stories and also question listeners ("Do you ever walk backwards? Did you ever do something that you weren't supposed to do?")
