When your students are told to write about what they know, do they ever respond by writing about their families?  Many children fail to see the value or drama in their own family situations which would make good writing topics. The purpose of this book is to guide students into working with their families to uncover dramatic stories they can write about.  In Research & Writing: Activities That Explore Family History students will learn to use resources such as family records, a family tree, the internet, religious records, diaries and journals, cemeteries, census records, wills, photographs, newspapers, etc., to discover interesting family facts and events. They are given questions to answer and related activities to complete based on their findings.  As students get a sense of their family history, they will be anxious to use their creative writing skills to tell the sometimes dramatic, but always unique, stories they have uncovered about their interesting families.
