Choosing who to honor

Your homework for 2nd and 3rd period is to choose who to honor with your altar and interview.
Subject Selection:  The person needs to be . . .
  • No longer alive
  • Someone you admire and are curious about.
  • Someone you or your family feels connected to (whether relative or friend)
  • One or more people you can talk to must have know this person personally and be willing to give an interview about them.

MY EXAMPLE PROJECT: Remembering Paul D. Sullivan


  1. Candidates: 1. (Papa) Sullivan 2. (Aunt) Francis Dunbar  3. Carl Jones
  2. PERSONAL REFLECTION
    • I admire Papa Sullivan because he was a warm, thoughtful person who succeeded in ways that benefited other people.
    • The ways I feel connected to Papa are many.  He was a part of my life for over 30 years.  Family trips and vacations usually included him and Grandma.
    • I would like to know more about  his early life and his relationship with Grandma before they had kids.
  3. Homework: confirm sources - my grandmother and my father are willing to be interviewed about him and his life.
