 Students should choose one option and one project to be completed with college-level writing, cite any sources that may be used (family interviews are sources). 1-2 pages. If students want to create visuals to compliment the written work, that is fine.Choose One OptionOption 1: For a personal family history, the student investigates her/his family past by interviewing family members and collecting available genealogical information from written and oral sources. Students may not be able to find all the information below for all the people they trace but should fill in as much possible.Option 2: For a fictionalized family history, the student creates characters whose lives represent experiences actually lived by people in the past. Characters may be wholly or partly fictional, and students develop believable details of their lives. Students might use some actual family members as springboards, though their research would involve other people’s experiences (for example, reading oral and social histories).Pick One Project1) Create a family tree going back at least to 1900, and further if possible. For at least three individuals from different generations (spanning the 20th century), provide key information which you will compare and analyze later: Birth/Death, Number of children, Race/Ethnicity, Educational level reached, occupation; Migration patterns (where they were born, where they moved to and lived). You can do this visually, in list/bulleted form/etc.2) Explain how your family experiences are part of world events Effects of war and other conflicts on the family members, including military service, loss of life, migration, civil/human rights concerns, etc. Examples: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, First Gulf War, War in Iraq, Afghanistan, internal civil conflicts, government repressionorEffects of economic downturns on your family in terms of jobs, location, educational opportunities. Examples: Great Depression, 1970s or more recent economic slump’s effects, debt crisesorEffects of larger technological/economic shifts on your family’s jobs—like changes in farming, industrialization, spread of higher education, mass consumer society, outsourcing, and other effects. What occupational changes were experienced by both individuals, and for the family as a whole?3) Discuss your family’s migration history; elements may pre-date the 20th century.When did members of your family come to the United States and why? Discuss the conditions these individuals faced in the sending countries and in the USAExplain the different reasons—local, national, personal—that brought different branches of the family to the USA. What about internal migration? How and why have family members moved around the country? How did personal, economic, educational, political, and other factors shape these migrations? How were these factors part of larger trends in history—and diverse experiences in both the sending countries and the USA? Students should choose one option and one project to be completed with college-level writing, cite any sources that may be used (family interviews are sources). 1-2 pages.
