In addition, linked right on the doc is a template of a Google Slides presentation I made as a sample and another that students can make a copy of to use as a template for themselves if you choose to do the assignment digitally versus on paper. All portions are editable for you so you can modify the directions to meet your needs.

There are 4 thematic concepts represented: home, ethnic ideas and aspirations, neighborhood, and name/language.
