Grade 6 - More Information for Family Tree Assignment

Grade 7's are still working on their country assignments - requirements on blog post from Dec. 2nd. Some grade 6's have had questions in regards to their family tree assignment.

Students can be as creative as they please with this assignment. I have posted my personal tree below to give you an idea. Students are to gather as much information about their family history as possible (to great grandparents). Pictures are helpful but not necessary. There are three questions they have to answer once the assignment is completed. These are posted below in BOLD.

Some leading questions to ask parents:

What are your grandparents (this will be YOUR great grandparents) names?
Do you know the year they were born?
Where do/did they live?
What did they do for a living?
Did they always live in Canada?
What memories stand out?

What are your parents names?
Do you know the year they were born?
Where do/did they live?
What did they do for a living?
What memories stand out?

Add YOUR parents names...
What year were YOUR parents born
Where do/did they live?
What do they do for a living?

Your siblings...
What year were your siblings born?

What countries did your family originate from?
Add any symbols/flags/pictures that help represent your family.

Questions after completing Family Tree (typed and printed on the drive):

1. Share one interesting story you learned while working on this assignment 
2. How did this assignment change the way you think about your family?
3. Why do you think it's important to learn about your family history?
