During each Reading unit, we work on an Inquiry project. Our first unit has been Heritage. Each story we have read has shown us how heritage has influenced someone's life. That is our big idea---How our heritage has influenced our lives. I have given each student the assignment to find someone in their family that they can interview and ask questions about their heritage. This individual needs to be someone considerably older than them (like a grandparent). We are nearing the end of our unit, so I just want to remind everyone that they need to be getting this done. They can have help writing down what they are told, and just need to bring that information to school by October 4th. We have a really neat little book that we are going to make. If it is possible they also need to bring a 4 x 6 (or smaller picture) in landscape mode of the person that they've interviewed. If you have any questions, please call and let me know.
