For one week, have your child journal every day about what they are seeing in the world around them. This might be what they see in the news, hear from friends and family, or anything else that they experience in their daily life. Have them consider:
What major announcements happened day from both the local, state and national governments?
What unique talents do you have as a student to record your thoughts about what happened today (drawing, poetry, notes, photos, etc)?
What changes can you as a student jot down to show the difference in how you and others around you are living your daily lives now as opposed to one month ago? (Change over time)
After your week of journaling use your notes and journal entry to help you create a timeline for the things you have observed over the past 5 days. When your class gets together online or over the phone talk, share, and compare your timeline with others. If you are unable to connect with classmates in an online environment, discuss your timeline with family and friends you talk with over the phone.
Make a list of at least 10 people to interview by phone, in person, email, internet, or social media. Talk with each person to ask questions about things they do in their families, ways they celebrate birthdays, holidays, or other events. Ask about the types of activites they do on weekends and during the summer. Ask them to tell you some of the traditions they may have in their families. Feel free to add as many more questions as you can think of asking. When you have gotten information from all people make a table with a row for each person and a column for each question. Put your information in the table you create and then analyze to make some comparisons and draw some conclusions. Write a short summary of what you conclude.
