Exploring and Sharing Family Stories

THank you for the resources and ideas!!! We are using elements of this lesson plan to help our seventh graders prepare to interview their parent(s) about their experience when they attended the seventh grade. This information will help refine our activity and bridge the new C.C.S.S...interviewing parents, about their experiences when they were in the same grade their child is currently attending, builds many bridges between the student and parent...students are surprised that their parents were ever young and experienced some of the same things they'll face and parents are a little more understanding and helpful, with their child, as they reflect on their own personal experiences! HORMONES are still the same "opportunities" from generation to generation!
