First Step: Interview the person (parent, grand parent, aunt, uncle, etc.) to learn about your family history
Here are some questions to help with your interview...
 * Where and when were they born?
 * How did your family come to th United States of America?
 * Can you mention some life altering world events which took place during your lifetime?
 * What is your favorite type of music.
 * What do you remember about your family dinners?
 * What language was spoken at home while you were growing up?
 * Do you have any other stories about your growing up?

Second Step: Writing
Use adjectives in your descriptive writing. Remember, it is like telling a story. For example, **//My grandmother was a sweet, little old lady.//** Sweet, little, and old help the reader paint a picture of grandma in their minds.

Third Step: Proofreading and rewriting
Proofread your work and make sure to include all of the details of your interview. Remember, your descriptions should be detailed and honest.
