Ancestry Projects!


ANCESTOR DETECTORS: A GENEALOGY PROJECT
DATE DUE 11/22


PURPOSE: THIS PROJECT IS TO HELP YOU FIND OUT WHERE YOU COME FROM AND HOW YOU CONNECT TO THE PAST, SPECIFICALLY YOUR PAST. DIRECTIONS: YOU ARE TO CREATE A FAMILY ANCESTRY/GENEALOGY PROJECT. WITHIN THIS PROJECT YOU HAVE FULL ARTISITC CREATIVITY (meaning you can create whatever you want) AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THESE CRITERIA:

1. YOU MUST GO BACK FOUR GENERATIONS (not including your own) THIS MEANS YOUR GREAT-GREAT GRANDPARENTS GENERATION

2. YOU ARE TO INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE ANCESTOR FROM EACH GENERATION. YOU MAY GO FURTHER BACK IN TIME, BUT ONE ANCESTOR FROM EACH GENERATION MUST BE INCLUDED. Who do you want to include? What family members do you want to highlight?

3. YOU MUST HAVE TEN ANCESTORS TOTAL. YOU WILL NEED TO INCLUDE ONE PERSONAL FACT ABOUT EACH PERSON, WHERE THEY WERE BORN, WHEN THEY WERE BORN AND THEIR NAME- 40 facts total! You will need to talk to relatives, look through photo albums and research your family history to complete this project.

4. A SHORT ESSAY (on another piece of paper, not on the actual project) THAT DESCRIBES HOW YOU CONNECT TO YOUR ANCESTORS. (Ideas…think about similarities, differences, relationships to them, how they lived, how you live, how what they did made a difference in your life) MINIMUM 10 SENTENCES. Essays will be read aloud in class and turned in to me so it needs to be legible and not attached to what you create.

5. YOU NEED TO PRESENT THIS TO THE CLASS

6. CREATIVITY COUNTS!

FORMATS CAN INCLUDE (but are not limited to) THE FOLLOWING…POWERPOINTS, FAMILY TREE ON A POSTERBOARD, A SONG, A BOOKLET etc…

BE CREATIVE! THIS IS YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR HISTORY, HOW DO YOU WANT TO SHOW IT?!?!?
