Shettleston: Our History 2
Learning Activities: SAY
Interview an Older Relative Or Neighbour
One way of finding out about your local history is by talking to older relatives and neighbours. Some may have lived in your area a long time and some may have moved in more recently but are still a part of community history. Interview an older relative or neighbour and ask them what life was like for them when they were your age. You will then be asked to talk about this.
Old Photographs (Family)
Some of the most valuable pieces of our history are old photos. See if you can find the oldest photo your family has (though ask permission first) and find out as much as you can about it – who is in it, who took the photo, where was it taken, what were the people in it doing? You will then be asked to talk about this.
Old Photographs (Shettleston)
The library of photographs in this pack show different things to do with how life used to be in Shettleston. Take one of these photographs and discuss using the following prompts:
- Who or what do you see in the photograph?
- Who do you think would have taken the photograph and why?
- In what ways do you think life for people when the photograph was taken would be different from your own?
Which Trail Do You Prefer?
Look at the two heritage trails on the Shettleston Heritage Trail leaflet and the different buildings and places in each. Which one of these trails would you most like to do? You will be asked to say which and to give your reasons to the class.
