Ethnic Background Family

Study on the ethnic background of both parents’ families: Students report this to be a very profound assignment helping them to understand their past and to consciously shape their future. This can be a wonderful opportunity to talk with family members you may not have contacted in a long time. Write about their cultural values, the challenges and the successes they may have faced during their lives because of their ethnicity. If you are unable to obtain info on your family, choose someone who has been or could be significant in your life. Phone interview, email, or in-person contact could all be helpful and be appropriate. Do some research about their cultural heritage; this may include on-line searches.
