Family History Presentation:
You will construct a timeline detailing the changes in family life throughout history.
You will pick six different “eras” to study. Three of these you will research using your textbook, and three you will research on your own. You must use the proper format when citing your sources; we will go over this in class before the project is due.
For each era, you must include a general description of family life. This includes typical roles and responsibilities for all members of the family – husband, wife, children. You should also address how the family was viewed in the larger context of society.
Your presentation will be handmade. I encourage you to be as creative as possible with how you construct your timeline. Your timeline must be in chronological order.
Some possible eras to pick (there are many more “eras” out there):
