The students at the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science in Columbus, Mississippi, utilize primary sources as an interpretative tool in the "Tales from the Crypt" course. Using historical resources, students research the individuals buried in Columbus' historic Friendship Cemetery and share the community's storied past in an annual performance. In this session you'll hear from several involved in the "Tales" project and how it has inspired similar endeavors in other states.
