A Family History

The 5th Grade class created wonderful posters celebrating their family histories.  Many students parents and/or grandparents hail from other countries.  The students were to ask a specific set of questions to their family members to gather and research some basic information.  They were to find out where their family was located in another country as well as their parents or grandparents city of origin. 

The students then added additional components such as a vintage family photo as well as maps and flags of the home countries.  The writing component included adding information about what type of work their parents or grandparents did in their earlier years.  Some students added details about where their grandparents were married.  I was impressed with the photography and how the students were able to add such creative and wonderful artistic details to their posters.  Project after project I continue to be amazed at the quality of work and the attention to detail the students take in creating their works of art!!
