Ancestor Performance Task
I
For this performance task, you will be writing a 300-600 word narrative describing traveling
through time to visit an Ancestor. Here are some instructions for your narrative:
Narrative must be in first person from the point of view of yourself.
Narrative should be about what you and the ancestor would do if you could spend some
time together in the time period from which they are from. Where would they take you?
What would they want you to see?
You must also complete accompanying "bone structure" assignment with your
narrative to show your understanding of characterization.
To do a good job on this assignment, you will need to
Show through your writing how your ancestor's time period would influence the way they
would speak and act.
Clearly identify the time period and place in which your ancestor comes from.
Clearly describe the historical context and historical events that have affected the life of
your ancestor character.
Polished and paid careful attention to editing and revising my narrative to make my ideas
easy to follow.
