This document outlines an assignment asking students to research the culture and history of one of their earliest known ancestors. Students are instructed to select an ancestor's culture from before 1500 CE and search for 10 primary or secondary sources relating to that culture, such as maps, videos, photographs, documents, or artworks. Students then write a one paragraph description of what they learned about their ancestor's everyday life and culture, along with a list and brief description of each source and whether it is primary or secondary. The goal is for students to practice researching online sources and distinguishing between primary and secondary source materials from their ancestor's homeland.
