| Annotation | In narrative constructed in conversations, older adults often present "small stories". These narrative fragments provide extensive information about their experiences, values, and aspects of their lives that can be used to help learners understand key concepts about ageing and the life course. The authors provide an overview of approaches including exercises and activities keyed to a corpus of oral narratives, targeting graduate and undergraduate students. (KJ/RH). |
