Across Generations: Grandparent Biography
To begin the project, write a friendly letter to your grandparent. See post on blog for specific requirements. Explain to your grandparent that you are both a biographer as well as historian. To help your grandparent prepare for the interview, explain that you will be collecting personal biographical information. Additionally you may want to include some of the following questions in your initial letter:
- What in your life are you most proud of and why?
- If you could go back and change one thing what would it be and why?
- What are some of your accomplishments?
- How do you handle disappointment?
- What are some life lessons you have learned along the way?
- How have you changed overtime?
- How do you want to be remembered?
- What is the greatest reward of being a parent/grandparent?
- What are some important historical events that you remember?
- What do you think of technology?
These are some examples that may help your grandparent start thinking.
