Family Stories

What i find interesting and also believe is a family that knows more about each other is more likely to be successful when bad things occur.  When families talk to each other on a regular basis and communicate then families know what is going on in each others life.  It is also easier then to go to someone in your family and talk to them when bad events happen.  It helps when parents and children have things in common because it starts off conversations and makes talking easier.

To help your students understand more about their family they can interview their family members so they can get an idea of what their parents childhood was like what their life is now and what they do everyday.  As a class we can create charts on family members and what they like to do such as sports, holidays this way it is the whole understanding more about other cultures as well as the child.
