Learners brainstorm topic questions, create a family tree template, and gather information using family photos, social groups, articles, and guided interviews via phone or voice messages. A structured four-day plan supports research, presentation, and numeracy/science/geography extension tasks aligned to learning goals.","| Description: | Help the learner discover their family’s history and learn about the different ways we can look for information! |\n| --- | --- |\n| Leading question: | What can we learn from our own family tree? |\n| Age group: | 4-7 years old |\n| Subjects: | History, Social Science – Language |\n| Total time required: | 30-50 minutes a day for 4 days (total of ~2 .3 hours) |\n| Self-guided / Supervised activity: | Supervised by parents / guardians |\n| Resources required: | Chart or regular paper, notebook, color pens, relevant family photos, articles, etc., phone for “interviews” |\n\n\n| Day | Time | Activity and Description |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 5\u003Cbr>minutes\u003Cbr>10\u003Cbr>minutes\u003Cbr>5-10 minutes\u003Cbr>10-20 minutes | Explain to the learner that this project is to get to know his or her family a little better and learn how to search for information in different ways.\u003Cbr>Use a relevant public figure biography to introduce the concept of family tree. E.g.: read excerpts from Al Seera A l Nabawiyya and chart out Prophet Muhammed’s family tree!\u003Cbr>With the learner, decide on how far down your family tree you will go and who you want to explore. For example, you could choose to stop at the learner’s\u003Cbr>great-grandparents on either side.\u003Cbr>Brainstorm with the learner or ask them to come up with ~5-10 questions/things he or she wants to know about family members. For example: What career is most common in your family? Did your family migrate at any point?\u003Cbr>The learner can write down the selected questions by writing the key word and illustrating the rest in a list so that they remember. Please assist the learner in writing the questions.\u003Cbr>TIP: Try to ensure that the questions cover a range of subjects to develop extension activities that can further their learning. Some examples of extension activities (age-dependent):\u003Cbr>1. Math: Learners can be asked to count the number of family members based on certain characteristics such as features, occupation, birthplace etc. and |\n\n|  | 10\u003Cbr>minutes | perform simple one-digit addition to find out, for example, the total number of grandchildren a family member has.\u003Cbr>2. Science: Learners can ask questions about their family members '-hair color, eye color, height, shoe size etc.\u003Cbr>3. Geography: Learners can be asked to name the continents of the countries where family members lived or migrated to.\u003Cbr>Ask the learner to draw the family tree template on a large piece of paper! Numerous templates are available online. Get creative with the template\u003Cbr>TIP: The learning can be extended by asking the learner to add women in squaresand men in triangles or in different primary colours based on ages |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 2 | 10\u003Cbr>minutes\u003Cbr>5\u003Cbr>minutes\u003Cbr>20\u003Cbr>minutes\u003Cbr>5-10 minutes | Inform the learner that he or she will have to find out answers to the questions you came up with together for each family member. Ask them where they think they can find this information. Let them reflect and answer, then inform them that you can look together at family photos, family social groups, newspaper/other articles etc.\u003Cbr>Inform the learner that he or she can also conduct interviews with family members by calling or sending them voice messages to ask about someone in the family tree!\u003Cbr>TIP: Examples of extension activities at this stage to make it more challenging:\u003Cbr>● English: What should we ask Aunt Noor to find out what grandpa Adam’s job was?\u003Cbr>Have the learner begin researching using a mix of methods (including phone calls, photo albums, conversations etc. )\u003Cbr>Discuss with the learner what he or she has discovered and if anything has surprised them |\n| 3 | 20-30 minutes\u003Cbr>20-30 minutes | Have the learner continue interviewing and researching different family members, ensuring that he or she has collected sufficient information per family member.\u003Cbr>The learner can illustrate or voice record the research as it is being collected.
