My WikiEducator Assignment
Worksheet to support classroom teaching

el4C35 contract agreement

Subject: Developmental Psychology

Activity: Worksheet for students’ activity in conducting a research in family history and doing a class presentation on their findings through the creation of a genogram. The module in which this activity takes place is the module on The Family. Institution: Institute of Distance & Continuing Education, University of Guyana.

Overview

This work sheet focuses on encouraging students to learn about their ancestors and identify with them. Students are asked to create a genogram based on the information they gather on their family history.

They are asked to use Genograms to record family history through the lives of each of their family members. They are allowed to graphically portray complex family structures that show marriages and divorces, reconstituted families, adoptions, strained relationships, family cohesion, and other connections. They are also encouraged to use genograms to discover and analyze interesting facts about their family history, such as a naming pattern, sibling rivalry, or significant events like immigration.

Activity

Instructions for students: In preparing their genogram, each student is asked to •	Prepare a genogram of their family going back three generations in the past. They are asked to focus on family relationships and emotional relationships, for example: (i)	Family relationships (different types, e.g. married, divorced, common-law, engaged) (ii)	Emotional relationships (these provide an in-depth analysis of how individuals relate to one another. They are asked to use colour coded lines to represent various emotional relationships that bond individuals together). •	Include information relating to (i)	   Age, genetic disease/disorder and behaviour that have passed down     through the generation. (ii)	   Outstanding achievements of family members (iii)	   Names that have passed down through the ages (example, Hubert      Jones 1st, 2nd , 3rd , or great grandmother named Anne,     granddaughter named Anne) •	State what has been inherited (by the student) from the genealogy •	Share what information/lessons have been learnt from doing the genogram

For this activity, each student is asked to place their diagram information on large cardboard or flip chart sheet for presentation to the class.

Hello, Barbara, I like what you are doing. It sounds very interesting. I do some counselling when i meet Breast Cancer patients. But it is not professional. Would like to meet you in person sometime. Wish you can visit my country one day. Keep up the good work. Lets together make the world "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" meaning the whole world is one family. (Kalpana Gupte 18:41, 28 April 2010 (UTC))
