I really like the idea of doing my family history. Since I know my moms dad would not want to talk about his time in the war, I think my dads dad would be better. I know he spent some time teaching in Africa but I'm not sure what he taught, I think English. I am not sure how long he spent there or why he chose to go there but I still think it's interesting. I would deffinatly interview him and then go from there.
I'm having a hard time thinking about what other things I could do with it. I dont know who I would interview about it other then my grandpa. I don't know if him and my grandma were together when he went or if they had any kids at the time. My grandpa has some things he brought back so I suppose they might be helpful in doing this project.
I think this project will be very hard but I am excited to do it. I am also nervous about interviewing people.
Samantha, your project seems like it will be very interesting, maybe a little difficult with interviewing, but you can do it! :)
ReplyDeleteYour topic is great. I hope you find out a lot about your family history. For your alternate topic, I definitely think cats is a fanastic topic.
ReplyDeleteSamantha, your family history is a very interesting topic for this project! Please complete your proposal with questions and additional information (the directions are found on the blog) I think some directions you could take are: Where did he go? What is the geography/area like? What the customs of the people? You can use this information in order to find another person to interview. Someone that has been to the same area of Africa would be great! Interview a professor that has done African studies. I can help you look for people in class tomorrow!Thanks~Ms. Wood
