family interview assignment

Primary sources are vital to include in our study of history. But usually, we don’t consider the primary source history available in our students’ families.

We are now living in an era where our upper elementary students have never even heard of historical events that rocked our world when we were their age.

It’s crucial that we encourage students to talk to older family members about the events and time periods they experienced. Our students will have a richer understanding of history when they know first-hand, behind-the-scenes personal experiences.

A Family Interview Project is an excellent way to encourage students to talk to their elders about their experiences.

I created this project for my students because some of my favorite childhood memories involve listening to my sweet grandma tell about her experiences growing up in rural Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. I am so thankful that I have those stories to remember her, and gain a more broad understanding of my family’s life during that time.

Setting up the project is fairly simple for teachers.

First, I created a commitment form for students and parents to fill out. On this commitment form, I listed some ideas for interview topics. This form was helpful because I was able to see what topics students would be using to interview their family members.

Second, I sent parents a note to explain the project, provide due dates, and outline the procedures for completing the project.

Third, I provided a suggested list of interview questions, but encouraged students to let conversation flow naturally and listen for key details that would help them to get the full picture of the historical event or time period.

Finally, I asked students to create a written report to share what they learned.

A simple grading sheet must accompany this project to ensure that students complete all pieces of the project.

In closing, this is one of my very favorite projects…. ever ! One project that is very memorable to me was done by a 5th grade boy of Vietnamese descent. His great-grandfather lived in Vietnam during the Vietnam War and helped American soldiers with their missions. The report he created was amazingly heartfelt and creative.

I feel like I’m really making a difference in my students’ lives by having them complete this family interview project. The stories that they hear and events they learn about will stick with them forever!

You are so welcome! Enjoy 🙂

I would like the resources for this Interview Family Member Research Project. I know you said that you prepared pages I cannot find the link to those pages.

Hi Diana! Here is a link to the Family Interview Project: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Family-Interview-Project-3143890

How long did you give your students to finish and turn their projects into you?

They knew about the project for about a month and I had a specific due date. They had plenty of notice to get it done, so I’d say at least a couple weeks or more would be fair.

family interview assignment

Every detective needs good informants to help crack a case. Who are the best informants for your family investigations? Older relatives, such as your grandparents, great-aunts or -uncles, even your parents’ older siblings. They can tell you their memories of your family from before you were born.

Grownups like to share their memories, so don’t be shy—call an older relative to set up an interview. In-person is best, but you can do it over the phone or computer if your relative lives far away.

Be sure to bring your detective notepad and a pencil to take notes; you also might want to bring an audio or video recorder (or a smartphone) to tape a face-to-face interview. Just ask your interviewee’s permission first; some people feel uncomfortable being recorded.

Here are questions to ask:

  • When were you born?
  • Where did you grow up and what was it like?
  • What were your parents’ and siblings’ names? Were you an oldest, youngest or middle child?
  • What do you remember about your grandparents?
  • What kind of jobs did your parents do?
  • What are your happiest family memories?
  • How did you like school?
  • What did you want to be when you grew up?
  • What were your chores, and what did you do for fun?
  • What are your strongest memories from your time in the military?
  • How did you meet Grandma/Grandpa/Uncle ____/Aunt ____?
  • Tell me about your first date.
  • Tell me about the day my mom/dad was born.
  • What was my mom/dad like as a child?
  • Do you know any stories about ancestors immigrating to America? Where did they come from?
  • Do you have any old photos, papers or a family Bible you could show me?

Tips for parents

Use this question list as a guide, but it’s OK if the conversation leads your child to ask questions not on the list, or the relative to tell stories not related to a particular question. Looking at old family photos may spark the relatives’ memories, too.

You and your child can edit the list together based on the length of the interview, what your child wants to ask about, and any school project requirements, if applicable (for example, their teacher may want them to focus on a particular topic such as military service).

Using family interviews to learn historical lessons

With your help, your child may want to jot down significant historical events that occurred during their relatives’ lives, such as the Great Depression or the day President Kennedy was assassinated. Then he or she can ask about them it with a question such as, “What’s your most vivid memory of growing up during the Great Depression?

If they’ve been learning about the Great Depression in school, they’ll see how it affected everyday people and maybe even find themselves an answer to that perennial question, “Why do we have to learn this?”

They also might be interested in how their relatives’ childhoods compare to their own: Did they have similar hobbies? What chores did they have to do around the house? How did they like their brothers and sisters?

Make sure you record the interview for posterity (and in case your child needs it for a report) using a digital voice recorder or an app on your smart phone.

If filling in a family tree chart along with the interview is part of a school assignment, browse our collection of free downloadable forms. Your relatives would probably love to see the finished project!

An interviewer might ask "What inspired you to pursue a career in family support work?" to a/an Family Support Worker in order to get a better understanding of the reasons why the individual decided to enter this career field. It is important to know what inspired the person to pursue this career path because it can help provide insight into their level of passion for the work and their commitment to helping families. Additionally, this question can help the interviewer gauge the person's understanding of the importance of family support work and their potential to be an effective advocate for families.

Example: “ I was inspired to pursue a career in family support work after seeing the difference that such support can make in the lives of families. I have seen firsthand how families can benefit from having someone to turn to for help and guidance, and I want to be that person for other families. I believe that every family deserves to have someone in their corner, and I am passionate about making that happen. ”

There are a few reasons why an interviewer would ask this question to a Family Support Worker. First, it allows the interviewer to gauge the extent of the applicant's knowledge about the field. Second, it allows the interviewer to assess the applicant's ability to identify important skills for success in the field. Finally, this question can help the interviewer understand the applicant's career goals and how they align with the position.

The key skills necessary for success as a Family Support Worker vary depending on the specific position and organization. However, some essential skills include strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills. Additionally, Family Support Workers must be able to work independently and be self-motivated. They must also be able to handle difficult situations and have a genuine desire to help others.

Example: “ Some key skills that are necessary for success in the field of family support work include: -The ability to build strong relationships with families and children -Excellent communication skills -The ability to provide emotional support -Patience and understanding -The ability to be flexible and adaptable -The ability to work well under pressure -Good organizational skills ”

There are a few reasons why an interviewer might ask this question to a family support worker. First, they may be trying to gauge the worker's understanding of the challenges faced by families who need support. Second, they may be trying to see if the worker has any suggestions for how to address these challenges. Finally, they may be trying to get a sense of the worker's commitment to helping families in need.

It is important for family support workers to have a good understanding of the challenges faced by their clients. This knowledge can help them better tailor their services to meet the needs of families. Additionally, it can help them provide more effective support and make referrals to other resources when necessary.

Example: “ The three biggest challenges faced by family support workers are: 1. Lack of resources – Many family support workers report that they do not have enough resources to effectively do their job. This includes things like insufficient funding, lack of staff, and lack of access to services. 2. High caseloads – Family support workers often have very high caseloads, which can make it difficult to provide quality services to each family. 3. Complex cases – Family support workers often deal with complex cases that can be very challenging to resolve. This can include cases involving abuse, neglect, mental health issues, and more. ”

There are a few reasons why an interviewer might ask this question. They could be trying to gauge if you have a clear understanding of the role and its responsibilities. Additionally, they may be trying to determine if you have a realistic expectation of the job and its rewards. Finally, the interviewer could be trying to assess your motivation for wanting the position. It is important for the interviewer to understand your motivations for wanting the job so that they can determine if you are a good fit for the position.

Example: “ There are many rewarding aspects to this job, but some of the most rewarding include helping families in need and seeing the positive impact that our work has on their lives. It is also very gratifying to see families overcome difficult challenges and grow stronger as a result. ”

There are a few key ways that family support work differs from other helping professions. One key difference is that family support workers focus on supporting and strengthening families, rather than individuals. This means that they work to help families identify and achieve their goals, and to overcome any challenges they may be facing. Additionally, family support workers often have a more holistic approach to working with families, taking into account all aspects of their lives and needs. Finally, family support workers typically have a long-term, relationship-based approach to working with families, rather than a short-term, transaction-based approach.

The interviewer is likely asking this question to gauge the interviewee's understanding of the unique nature of family support work. It is important for family support workers to have a good understanding of how their work differs from other helping professions, as this will help them to better serve families and meet their needs.

Example: “ There are a few things that set family support work apart from other helping professions. One is the focus on the family unit as a whole, rather than on individuals within the family. Another is the emphasis on preventative measures and early intervention, rather than waiting until problems arise. And finally, family support workers often have more of a hands-on, practical approach to working with families, rather than simply providing advice or counseling. ”

One of the most important qualities for a successful family support worker is the ability to build relationships with the families they work with. Family support workers need to be able to develop trusting, respectful relationships with the families they work with in order to best support them. It is also important for family support workers to be able to effectively communicate with families and understand their needs.

Example: “ There are many qualities that are important for a successful family support worker, but some of the most important ones include: -Patience: Family support workers must be patient in order to work effectively with families who may be going through a difficult time. -Empathy: It is important for family support workers to be able to empathize with the families they work with, in order to better understand their needs and how to best help them. -Communication skills: Family support workers need to have excellent communication skills in order to effectively communicate with families and other professionals they work with. -Organizational skills: Family support workers must be well-organized in order to keep track of the many different tasks they need to do and the families they work with. ”

An interviewer might ask this question in order to gauge the interviewee's understanding of the role of a family support worker. It is important for family support workers to be able to help families in a variety of ways, and this question can help to assess whether or not the interviewee is aware of the importance of the role.

Example: “ There are many important things that a family support worker can do to help families, but one of the most important is to provide emotional support. Families often face difficult challenges and decisions, and a family support worker can provide a listening ear and offer guidance and advice. They can also help connect families to resources and services that can help them in times of need. ”

The interviewer is trying to assess the Family Support Worker's understanding of the challenges that families face when seeking help. This is important because it will help the interviewer determine whether the Family Support Worker is a good fit for the position.

Some of the challenges that families face when seeking help from a family support worker include:

- Not knowing where to start or who to turn to for help

- Feeling embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help

- feeling like they are not doing enough to help their family

- fearing that their family will be taken away if they seek help

- not being able to afford the cost of services

- not being able to access services due to transportation or child care issues

Example: “ There are a number of challenges that families face when seeking help from a family support worker. Some of the main challenges include: - Lack of knowledge about what services are available and how to access them - Lack of awareness of the importance of early intervention - feeling embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help - feeling like they are not worthy of help or that they should be able to cope on their own - not knowing how to communicate their needs or what to expect from a family support worker - feeling like they will be judged or that their family will be seen in a negative light These are just some of the challenges that families face when seeking help from a family support worker. It is important to remember that every family is different and will have their own unique set of challenges. ”

There are many challenges that families face, and a family support worker can help them overcome these challenges in many ways. Some of the most important things a family support worker can do to help families overcome these challenges include:

1. Providing emotional support - Families facing challenges often need someone to talk to and confide in. A family support worker can provide this emotional support, and help families to feel less alone and more supported.

2. Offering practical help and advice - A family support worker can offer practical help and advice on a range of issues, from financial advice to parenting advice. This practical help can be invaluable to families struggling to cope with challenges.

3. Connecting families with other services and support - A family support worker can help connect families with other services and support that they may need, such as counselling services or financial assistance. This can help families to get the help they need to overcome their challenges.

Example: “ There are many important things a family support worker can do to help families overcome these challenges. Some of the most important things include: 1. Providing emotional support – A family support worker can provide emotional support to families who are struggling. This can involve listening to their concerns, providing encouragement and reassurance, and helping them to develop coping mechanisms. 2. Offering practical assistance – A family support worker can offer practical assistance to families in need. This can include helping with tasks such as budgeting, childcare, and transportation. 3. Connecting families with resources – A family support worker can connect families with resources that can help them overcome their challenges. This can include referrals to community services, financial assistance programs, and counseling services. ”

There are a few reasons why an interviewer might ask this question to a family support worker. First, it allows the interviewer to gauge the support worker's understanding of the role and its importance. Second, it allows the interviewer to see how the support worker prioritizes the various duties of the job. Finally, it gives the interviewer some insight into the support worker's personal values and how they might align with the organization's mission.

The most important thing a family support worker can do to help families achieve their goals is to provide them with emotional support. This includes listening to their concerns, providing encouragement, and offering guidance. It is important for family support workers to be compassionate and nonjudgmental in order to build trust with families. Additionally, family support workers should be familiar with community resources and be able to connect families with services that can help them meet their goals.

Example: “ There are many important things that a family support worker can do to help families achieve their goals, but one of the most important is to provide emotional support. Families often face difficult challenges and decisions, and a family support worker can provide a listening ear and offer guidance and advice. Additionally, a family support worker can connect families with resources and services that can help them achieve their goals. ”

There are many important things that a family support worker can do to help families maintain healthy relationships, but one of the most important is to help families communicate effectively. Communication is essential for any relationship, but it can be especially difficult for families who are dealing with difficult situations. A family support worker can help families learn how to communicate with each other in a way that is respectful and effective. This can help families resolve conflict, build trust, and strengthen their relationships.

Example: “ There are many important things that a family support worker can do to help families maintain healthy relationships, but one of the most important is to help them communicate effectively. Communication is key in any relationship, and when families are able to communicate openly and honestly with each other, it can help to prevent misunderstandings and conflict. A family support worker can help families to learn communication skills such as active listening and assertiveness, which can make a big difference in their relationships. ”

There can be many reasons why an interviewer would ask this question to a family support worker. It is important to remember that every family is different and will therefore have different needs. It is the job of the family support worker to assess the needs of the family and help them to find ways to cope with stress and adversity.

Some of the reasons why an interviewer might ask this question include:

To assess the applicant's understanding of the role of a family support worker

To see if the applicant has the necessary skills to help families cope with stress and adversity

To gauge the applicant's commitment to helping families in need

To find out if the applicant has any personal experience of helping families deal with stress and adversity.

Example: “ There are many important things a family support worker can do to help families cope with stress and adversity, but one of the most important is to provide emotional support. Families often face difficult situations and times of stress, and a family support worker can provide a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. They can also offer advice and guidance on how to deal with difficult situations, and help families to find resources and support systems. ”

The interviewer is asking this question to gain insight into the Family Support Worker's professional opinion on what the most important thing is that they can do to help families build resiliency. This question is important because it allows the interviewer to gauge the Family Support Worker's level of experience and expertise on the topic of family resiliency. In addition, this question allows the interviewer to get a sense of the Family Support Worker's personal philosophy on family support work.

Example: “ There are many things that a family support worker can do to help families build resiliency, but one of the most important things is to provide emotional support. Families who are dealing with difficult situations often need someone to talk to who will understand and can offer helpful advice. A family support worker can be that person for families, and by offering emotional support, they can help families to cope with their challenges and build resilience. ”

The interviewer is asking this question to get a sense of the Family Support Worker's priorities and values. It is important to know what the most important thing is to a Family Support Worker in order to gauge how well they will be able to support families in conflict.

Example: “ There are many things that a family support worker can do to help families prevent and resolve conflict. However, the most important thing is to help families communicate effectively with each other. Communication is essential in any relationship, and it is especially important in family relationships. When families are able to communicate effectively, they are able to understand each other’s needs and wants, and they are also able to resolve conflicts more easily. ”
