Family Tree and History - Culture Activity.
One of my favorite and most worthwhile activities!
Wonderful document for recording family facts and memories. This is a culture assignment that will be treasured for who knows how long. I hand out as extra credit, but I strongly encourage their use... where else will this information ever be captured? Students just ask questions of parents and grandparents. Even better, have them video the conversation.

As open structure pieces of persuasive writing, they use techniques and content from a variety of other writing formats without the rigidity of formal literary essay style and structure. Instead, they allow students to use evidence they are more than familiar with (their own lives) and a natural voice (their voice) to develop their thesis. This is the kind of writing students see and do daily; in conversations, in ads, in emails, i
