His 110 H 130 H Biography Parents Honors

In this one-year course, students will select one parent to interview and to write a biography about. This course will teach students how to interview one parent and how to record the data. The focus of this course is to help students expand their center of the world to include their parents. By interviewing a parent, the students will learn how to organize information as they begin to fill out Merit’s questionnaire. The students write the biography in chronological order. The students will read 20-30 biographies of famous people throughout the year. The students are encouraged to visit their parent’s hometown and to interview this parent’s siblings and parents (if available). Looking through old family albums, heirlooms, and family records will make the biography much more interesting.
