4th and 5th Graders at The Belmont School are recording interviews and stories from people in the Belmont Neighborhood of the Bronx.

Students record interviews about the school live at field day.

The process is designed for students to realize that they can influence the way their narrative is told by deciding what stories are collected, from who, and what perspective it comes from.
