Greetings fellow classmates!
My topic is General Family History and what better way to learn history then through a family tree. Ask students to fill out the chart with their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents names. Further, have them write a few facts about each person (you can do this on the same sheet or another one.) The facts can include jobs, hobbies, skills, travels, or any other interesting and random fact. This project will most likely need to be done at home with a parent/gaurdian. It will not only give you information about the family, but it will get parents/guardians involved in their child’s education. Print the chart out on a large (at least 11 in. by 14 in.) paper and let students be as creative as possible.
Good luck!

Jessi,
The idea of a family tree is a good one. Have you thought of giving the students more direction if they have never filled one out before? For example, which side represents Mom's family and which represents Dad's family, what line do gradparents go on, where do aunts and uncles go, what about cousins. What about someone that is not a blood relative, but treated as such?
