Drawing/Diagram (not a photograph) of your family:  Make sure to attach a file – you can draw this and then scan and attach a pdf or you can do it in paint, or a powerpoint slide, however you’d like.  Make sure you attach the file.

Then answer the following questions (number them in your post).

• 1) Why did you draw your family this way?    Why did you include/not include people, significance, etc.
• 2) What is the most important thing in your family?
