Happy 2013! Here is the assignment page for the Family History Report. Over the break is often a good time to conduct interviews with family members. The whole report is not due until the end of January, however. Students need to do a minumum of three interviews, and the recommendation is a full page for each family member in the finished report. The anecdote is always the most interesting part of the report. More on the report project will posted soon.
