My Heritage Booklet Project

One thing that builds classroom community amongst students is allowing them to share about themselves. As teachers, we often do this at the start of the school year. All About Me worksheets are usually the focus and then we don’t spend much else time on intentionally allowing students to share who they are. If you want to give students a chance to continue to share about themselves throughout the year, this resource is a great start!

This is a My Heritage Booklet Project that students can complete at any time. The primary learning target for students is to use their primary sources to explain and elaborate on their heritage.

Directions:

- Create a small booklet that includes the following:

- Each page must have 2 colored pictures

- Text must be typed or NEATLY handwritten in blue or black ink pen.

Requirements:

--Cover Page: Eye Catching Title, First and Last Name, & Period

--Pg. 1 Your family tree, at least 3 generations (5 generations max)

--Pg. 2 How did you get here? Draw a world map showing your ancestors path of migration. (Label cities/countries)

--Pg. 3 Your favorite family recipe & 5 sentence explanation why it is your favorite.

--Pg. 4 All about me (5 interesting facts about yourself that you want the class to know)

--Pg. 5 My unwritten history (3 things I want to achieve in my future)

This is an independent project for your students. Upon completion, students can be given the opportunity to share their booklets with one another.

I hope you enjoy!
