Project Title: Family History project (FHP)

PURPOSE

The purpose of this project was to learn about our family and their history. In this project we had to interview a family member who was alive in a historical event. I interviewed my great aunt Hinda who is 87 years old. She was alive as a child during the great depression. She lived in Wisconsin at the time, we had to write a paper about the subject we were doing and so i wrote my paper about the great depression because thats the subject i interviewed my aunt about. Then we had to write up our interview we had with out subject in my case my Aunt. After that we had to write a small piece of literature, I wrote two, one about my and my family's eyes and the other about my hair. Both i put in my album winch had all the other pieces of literature. In total we learned how to work independently and much more.

REFLECTION

I Loved this project because i loved learning about my family history. My brother did this project two years ago and ever since sixth grade i have been looking forward to doing this project. I am always trying to get stories out of my family members so this was a great excuse to have them tell me some. I LOVED this project and wouldn't change anything about it. I think all the due dates gave enough time to work but not to goof of. It was a great project and i hope the sixth grades will have a chance to do it next year.
