An Autobiographical Research Project
What happened the year
that you were born? What was going on in your town? Were there important
events going on in your country? How about the rest of the world?

Part I
Today you are going to do online research to find details on
what was going on internationally, nationally, locally, in sports, music, arts,
commercial, TV, and publishing during the year that you were born.
Click
on the links below to browse the websites. Use the ‘autobiography’ worksheet to
record your findings.
HOMEWORK!
You will conduct interviews of friends and family members to get more details.
Interview your family and other people about your birth and first year of life. If available, look through photo albums, baby books, and so forth. Before your interview, brainstorm a list of questions to ask. You can include questions about your parents’ occupation, other members of the family and community, pets, significant family and community events (in addition to your birth), activities family and friends were involved in, extended family members, favorite music, book, or sports team, and so on.
Bring all your findings next class.
