Once Upon a Time

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

High school pupils research online to complete a family tree and explore their ancestry. They view a sketch of a family tree, and brainstorm questions to ask their parents about their heritage. They also diagram their own family tree. In addition, learners use baby pictures to create a collage for themselves, in addition to completing a culture box project.
