Lesson Plan

Students discover themselves by designing creative family trees, interviewing a family member who has known them since birth, and sharing a childhood treasure with the class.
Assessment
Collect interview essays. Completed projects should contain more than the suggested questions, and the material should be legible, carefully constructed, and appropriate in content.
