Today we received a handout called "Handshake Etiquette" which we read and discussed in class. We also received forms to begin our Family Tree research.
The idea behind doing our family tree is that it makes Internet research more personal and connects us with where we come from. In my experience, students develop Internet research strategies as well as a better understanding of history and where we come from.
Students who are uncomfortable researching their own family tree are more than welcome to research a friend. If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please feel free to contact me.
