Due Thursday April 7th
Both blocks: (Block C you meet me 9th!) Continue to expand and revise your family trees. It must:
1. Use GoogleDocs, preferably the drawing form so that you can create a tree.
2. It should end with you (either place yourself at the top or bottom and branch out).
3. It should trace back (directly, you don't need every cousin/aunt/uncle) to your ancestors who made the move to where you live now (in America, Zimbabwe, Thailand, S. Korea).
4. You must provide full names, dates of birth & death, when and why they emi/immigrated.
If you are missing info, get on the phone/computer and start digging! Envision the template Lauren provided us with today. Email with any questions!
PS. Remember, draft of research paper due Monday.

Due Wednesday April 6th
Both blocks: We are moving on to Chapter 20! Read and take notes on pg. 569 through pg. 577 stopping before "Running and Reforming the City."
Next, call your parents and/or grandparents and find out from where your ancestors immigrated. You may want to ask when they immigrated, why, and where they settled. Do both sides of your family!
If you are an international student, find out if your family has always lived where they have...you might have immigration stories in your background too! If you are adopted, you may do your biological family if you have information or your adoptive family, your choice!
Create a rough family tree using GoogleDoc (either a drawing or document template) and email me the link before the start of class Wednesday. Make sure to change the sharing settings so I can access it! Try to get as much info as possible but it's ok for it to be a work in progress.
Drafts will be due Monday (I decided to give you another weekend). If you want to move along and wish for me to take a look at it, schedule an appointment with me!
