Integrated Literacy Assignment Emily Mikesell-02
1 – H2.0.3: • Investigate a family history for at least two generations, identifying various members and their connections in order to tell a narrative about family life.
Side Note: Not all families are comfortable with talking about their families to this extent and you have to be aware of this. To teach this lesson you could do it with a famous person and their family or even your family, as a teacher, if you are comfortable with that.

Poetry: • Family • Our family comes From many homes, Our hair is straight, Our hair is brown, Our hair is curled, Our eyes are blue, Our skins are different Colors, too. • We're girls and boys, We're big and small, We're young and old, We're short and tall. We're everything That we can be And still we are A family. • We laugh and cry, We work and play, We help each other Every day. The world's a lovely Place to be Because we are A family.
Poetry: • By: Mary Ann Hoberman • What is a family? Who is a family? One and another makes two is a family! Baby and father and mother: a family! Parents and sister and brother: a family! • All kinds of people can make up a family • All kinds of mixtures can make up a family • What is a family? Who is a family? The children that lived in a shoe is a family! A pair like a kanga and roo is a family! A calf and a cow that go moo is a family! • All kinds of creatures can make up a family • All kinds of numbers can make up a family • What is a family? Who is a family? Either a lot or a few is a family; But whether there's ten or there's two in your family, All of your family plus you is a family!
printable: *I may use a different writing situation, just saying how grandparents are important to the students life in general.
