Create a report based on the research question, who am I? Your goal is to discuss your family lines or something within your family history that helps to define your identity. For example, in my family, a blood clotting disorder is common. It is rare, but could kill those affected by it. My father and both sisters have it. It can be traced all the way back on my father’s side to the early 1800s. This is something that I now have to think of because I have a child. I could research this and then discuss how it has played a part of my family’s identity. You could do this with a number is diseases or disorders such as anxiety, depression or something happier like twins.

 

You could also simply look at your race or ethnicity. Surprise me! Have confidence to do something unique.
