Family Migration Object

Mini-Presentation #1, Show & Tell Presentation and Write-Up
(5 points for presentation, 5 points for handing in "brief"; 5% of course grade)

Due January 25, 2006

Scan or photograph your object so you can put it on a web page later, along with your write-up.

Bring to class an artifact from home that represents your own familyÕs legacy of im/migration (e.g. photo, document, household article, recipe, artifactÑask family members for help!).

Give a one-minute show-and-tell mini-presentation. To prepare, write up a ÒbriefÓ explaining the meaning this artifact holds for you and/or your family. Include: where did they come from, when did they come, and why did they migrate to the US.  This will go on your Web Portfolio, along with a scan or photo of your object and a map of your familyÕs homeland(s) showing their path to the US (begin gathering these materials for your web page). 1/2 to 1 page max, double spaced. Required, not graded.

Read our family stories!
