Instructions for researching your family culture
1. Choose one culture on one side of your family to
research.
Choose the culture you are most familiar
with so you can teach others about it.
Or choose a culture you know less
about so you can learn more about it
and teach the visitors
to your Web site about it.
2. Write an introduction about your mother's or father's
side of the family,
whichever side you chose to start
with. (Homework)
Include what your mother/father and
her/his parents do (job, hobbies, talents)
See Ms Nystrom's example Mother's
Side and Father's Side pages.
(Please bookmark those pages if they
are not already bookmarked.)
Type the introduction below the image
on your MothersSide or FathersSide page
whichever one you decided to work
on first.
3. Collect stories that show an aspect (part) of
your culture. (Homework)
a. This could include how you celebrate
holidays or everyday customs, like at meals,
or it could
include how your family came to this country.
b. These stories will be added to
your page.
c. Illustrate them with family pictures
and/or pictures from the Internet.
Pictures must
have captions, (approximate) dates and source (photographer's name/URL)
