  1. I am not sure if we are suppose to ask our question under this one or the Wrapping it up one. How do you include all children in a project if in is based on a specific like in chapeter 9. The group of children were asked to write about where their families came from to America. Their heritage that came with them and so forth. What if they were born here in the USA and So was their family. They could easily share their heritage because we all have one but not another country they were from. How could we modify this to include all.
