This week, I'd like you to write a post describing where one of your parents, grandparents, or caregivers are from. Talk to them over dinner, on your way to school, etc. and ask them to describe where they are from. Remind them to think beyond a location, think of the ways we as a class described where we are all from (food, traditions, holidays, etc.). Once you've gathered the information, write a paragraph (5-7 sentences) on your blog describing where your family member is from. Include the title (Where My Parent Is From), paragraph, and image. Use the example below as a model.
Where My Mom Is From . . .
My mom, Sally Abraham Chacko, is from the houseboats, backwaters, busy streets, and rubber trees of Kottayam, Kerala. It's a highly populated city in the state of Kerala, located in Southern India. It's a city filled with people of all different religions and backgrounds who accept each other's differences. Education is valued in Kottayam and has the highest percentage of literacy. Kids wear uniforms to school even if they go to a public school and all the schools are English speaking schools. Sally and the kids of Kottayam would play cricket, ride on houseboats, and hopscotch for fun.
