I found this article to be amazing. There are many families that feel as if they are falling apart, but in reality, they may not be. All they may need is a little help, and this could be done through lessons in places as simple as school.
Being that I intend to be an elementary school teacher in the near future, I would most definitely want to implicate a project such as was done in the article, in my classroom. My project would be aimed for 3-6th graders. "Do You Know YOUR Family?" would be the title. The students would be given a set of questions they would need to ask their family such as: where were they born, where did their family originate from? Were there any struggles that their family suffered along the way of life? What were some happy times? Is there anything their family would change? And so on. The students would be asked to create a trifold board, and present it to the class as an oral presentation project. This way each student would learn a little more about each of their peers.
Not only would this help peers get to know each other better, but it would also help the students get to know themselves and their family that much better. This project could bring families closer by discussing issues that happened in their families life and such. This project is meant to make students feel proud about where they came from and how far their families have actually come over the years.
