This document discusses the different roles that individuals play within a family tree. It outlines the basic family relationships such as grandparents, parents, children, aunts/uncles, cousins. Students are then asked to design their own family tree and write a short profile about each member, including their name, age, occupation, and relationship to the student. They are to present their family tree to the class and submit the written profiles by Friday.
