William Swift

Ethan has his biggest assignment of the year due tomorrow. He had to pick and ancestor, do research on the individual, write-up a final report, make a doll of the individual, and then he will present it in class sometime this week. They were very specific in how he had to do each of the steps. He had to complete an outline, he had to use multiple sources for information (he used Grandpa Swift, familysearch.org, internet searches, and library books), he had to write at least one draft, and then his final report had be error free. They even specified that within a paragraph all of the sentences had to start differently and he could only include one sentence that had the word "and" in it. I was thinking that he might do a little complaining on some of the specifics, but he actually enjoyed it. He liked coming up with different ways to start the sentences and he wanted to try to be creative with his words. So here is his final product. It is about William Swift, who was our first Swift ancestor to come to America (he came when he was 10 so his whole family were actually the first ones).


In class they are going to take pictures and put their own head in for the face.
