We did family trees last year in my class as a part of a larger study. There were two children who were adopted- we talked about how you could do different kinds of "trees" to reflect your heritage- showing your roots might be showing a flag or pattern for birth-culture or mapping out your birth-family. There are also models that look more like circles or suns for younger ones, looking at important people in the child's life. To be honest, it was rather interesting for most of the kids and there were many complicated relationships in all of the families that proved interesting to document (particularly due to divorce and blending families). What I saw in their final projects was that they mostly included the people they knew and had contact with. These kids were 5th and 6th graders.
