Has anyone heard of any sort of lesson plan about oral history for late elementary school/middle school age?

We are putting together a traveling trunk about our historic ghost town and thought it might be neat to include a lesson on oral history, since we already have so many oral histories. I thought I might have heard somewhere (was it this list?) about a lesson where kids go home and interview their grandparents, parents, etc about their lives.

Thanks in advance for any help!
