Local Audio and Music

1. I will have the students video tape as well as record (MP3) the interviews they had with local residents from the senior citizen center that can tell the first hand experiences of the development of Mountaintop, particularly those in the Glen Summit development, as well as any effects the coal region had on the expansion of the Mountaintop area. This will be included in their final presentation of the local history project.
