HS 245 Week 1 Family Mapping

Create a map of your family using Microsoft® PowerPoint®. This is NOT a family tree, as your family map will include elements of living which are important to you and your family; however, you will use the components of a family tree to complete the assignment. Begin with a hand-drawn ancestral chart. Visit ancestry.com and use the free resources to assist you in drawing your own ancestral chart and family map.

Include in the presentation the following:

• Draft a copy of your family tree which goes back 2 to 4 generations, if possible.
• Choose two people in your family who have taught you something of importance, perhaps a behavior, a method, or a how to do something.
• What life lessons have you learned through these people?
• What are some of the unwritten boundaries that exist in your family?
• Did one person establish the rules in your family, if so, who?
• Can relationships with people who aren’t related to you that compares to your relationships with family members?
• How do you handle conflict with people from the past?

Extract your hand-written ancestral chart to submit with your assignment, this may require making it into a PDF to attach.

Create an 8- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation which addresses the above information.

Format your responses and presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
