Assignment: Your 4th grader needs to have some discussions with relatives over the weekend. Topics for discussion may include: family roots: what countries ancestors came from; when they arrived in America; information about one or two of those countries, including, but not limited to: location of the country, language spoken, foods, dress, traditions, etc. If you have a family tree already done, this would be a good time to pull it out and share it with the family.
I realize that some students may have extensive access to this type of information, while others may have limited information. I would like to see each student come up with a unique project to show and share his or her heritage/culture with the class.
The project/presentation needs to incorporate the following:
· A map or drawing
· A picture/photograph
· An artifact(s) --- examples include: books, trinkets, clothing, letters, dolls, newspaper articles, anything that represents part of their heritage!
· A story
I demonstrated a project for the class, so the students should have some ideas of what I am expecting. Have fun doing this project!
Due Date: Thursday, November 5th
