further that the objectives of the project are: a) to
provide students a hands-on experience in the writing
of historical narratives like the way professional
historians do (students work on science experiments

historiography just like historians); b) to examine the
connection of family history to local or national
events so the study of history becomes meaningful
and relevant; and c) to document memorable
historical experiences of the family so they get
preserved for posterity.
2. List down 3-5 guide questions that you will
ask them. Focus your questions about their
memorable historical experiences such as, but not
limited to: a) what historical events they experienced;
b) how life was during those times (e.g., popular
products; place they go to for recreation, popular
movie stars, etc.); c) what was the economic
condition then like what were the prices of

commodities that they remember; and d) what games
did children play, and other related matters. (This was
discussed in LG 2.3.). You may also consider to
include the experiences of the family in this covid-19
pandemic.
