Family+Trees

In this project, you will design your family tree and tell a story about your family. You have two options: • You can make it onto a poster • You can make it into a book 1. The following relatives should be included: Great grandparents, grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, cousins and siblings. You may include anyone else you wish. You should also include birthplaces and birth and death dates. 2. You are encouraged to use pictures, whenever possible. Please write a caption for each picture. 3. The written content should answer the questions below in full sentences. This information can be on the back of the poster, or incorporated into your book: a. What is your family’s cultural/ethnic background? b. From what country/countries did your family emigrate? c. What language(s) did your ancestors speak before they came to the US? d. Tell an interesting story about the life that one of your ancestors led before coming to the US or about their immigration experience (at least 2 paragraphs, 10 sentences). 4. All information (names, birthplaces…) should be typed.
