Family Treasure Project A Family Treasure can be an object or a story that should be

very important to somebody for personal reasons. Please help your child select an object or story as their

“Family Treasure” because we will use this to help to start forming questions for the interviewing process in class.

After students have interviewed family members about their treasure, we will use that oral history to prepare a presentation in class.

Students will be accountable for all parts of the project and will be graded based on a rubric that they will help develop.
