Your students come from a variety of backgrounds. Here are some ideas to help each of them have a successful family history learning experience.
Flexibility is the key.
Family Quilt Making a cloth quilt is quite a task, but kids can make a paper poster quilt. Decide how many family members each child will include in their poster quilt. Have the student create a square that represents each family member. Be flexible again - have your students cut pictures from magazines, photocopy photos from home that their parents provide, draw pictures, write little stories in the squares, use cultural symbols. Classroom Family Quilt Use the above concept, but have each child do a quilt square for a big poster quilt representing the class.
