During the middle school years, students are trying to identify who they are and are always looking for ways to group themselves with one another. Without proper knowledge of who the students are personally and culturally, it will be hard for them to be actively engaged in learning about the history and culture of others without first acknowledging who they are. This project will allow the students to learn about themselves, thru investigation and exploration. Students will be able to write their unique history and highlight who they are culturally. By reading books that highlight their history and culture, students will be able to learn about the diverse history of others and to see how the cultures of other students in the class are interrelated in many ways. By having students ask questions about their family history, cultural history, and writing their own biography using the printer to print their work, additional supplies will be used to enhance the learning process.
