Students should choose one option and one project to be completed with college-level writing, cite any sources that may be used (family interviews are sources). 1-2 pages. If students want to create visuals to compliment the written work, that is fine.Choose One OptionOption 1: For a personal family history, the student investigates her/his family past by interviewing family members and collecting available genealogical information from written and oral sources. Students may not be able to find all the information below for all the people they trace but should fill in as much possible.Option 2: For a fictionalized family history, the student creates characters whose lives represent experiences actually lived by people in the past. Characters may be wholly or partly fictional, and students develop believable details of their lives. Students might use some actual family members as springboards, though their research would involve other people’s experiences (for example, reading oral and social histories).Pick One Project1) Create a family tree going back at least to 1900, and further if possible. For at least three individuals from different generations (spanning the 20th century), provide key information which you will compare and analyze later: Birth/Death, Number of children, Race/Ethnicity, Educational level reached, occupation; Migration patterns (where they were born, where they moved to and lived).
