Students interview a family member about their heritage. They listen to and record part of their family's oral history. Students also create and label a family tree going back a minimum of two generations and compare and contrast cultural traditions and influences among class members. Finally, they use a map to chart the path their parents, grandparents, or other ancestors took from another country to the United States.
