Family Tree
Requirements for each Component
1.
Self Interview: You will be interviewing yourself and writing an article with
information from this interview. You may need to ask family to find out some
of the answers you are looking for. Some information may include (but not
limited to): where were you born, where have you lived, when were your
parents, brothers, sisters born, what have you been involved in (sports, clubs,
etc.), how did your family come to settle in the Bonduel area, when did your
family come to this country (what year or generation), what are your plans for
the future, etc.
2.
Your Name: How did you get your name? What does it mean? Do you
have nicknames? You will write a narrative (paragraphs) to share this
information. If you are unsure of how you got your name, you will need to
ask mom or dad or another family member or friend who was there when you
were born. If you were born the opposite gender, do you know what your
name could have been? Add that to your narrative.
3.
Where are you from: This will be written in poetry format. What is the
history and heritage of your family? You will need to ask family members to
find out. What background do you have – German, Dutch, Indian, African,
American Indian, Spanish, etc. What are some interesting events that have
taken place in your family – has someone been in the Olympics, has someone
met the president, what traditions do you have in your family, etc.
4.
Autobiodoodle: You will create some type of 3D object to put on your
poster that represents you. For example, if you like to read you might create a
book that incorporates words that describes you. If you like snowmobiling you
might create some type of snowmobile or clothing with what it means to you
and words to describe you on it.
5.
Family Tree: You will create a family tree in Inspiration going back to at
least your great-grandparents. You will probably need to ask family for help on
this part of the project to get the names of grandparents and greatgrandparents.
Grading
You will be graded on each individual component and as a final project that
includes all of the required components. You will be given a rubric for each
component as they are introduced, along with a rubric for the final project.
You are going to want to stay on top of this project. Do not fall
behind. Gather as much information as possible! You should also
include family pictures to add to the project. These can be pictures of
you growing up, family members, trips you have taken, etc. The sky
is the limit with how you put it together on the posterboard. Have
fun with it!
