Mr. S

Heritage GMAIL/SCHOOLOGY RESPONSES:
All students will complete an GMail to Mr. Scribner (hscribner@ccs.us) about "Heritage" (See Below).  You may also use SCHOOLOGY to complete the project.

Once complete, you can use your class time to complete the FAMILY TREE & PERSONAL TIMELINE Project on DRAW.IO.

If they agree it is complete, you may then work on CODE.Org, Typing.com (Tutorial Only), or something for another class / homework! You may quietly listen to music while you work, but you must not listen to anything inappropriate, or sit and watch videos / play games.




"HERITAGE"

Please read the following article "What Is Heritage" below and write a Constructed Response GMail (4-5 Sentences) about why learning about your own family heritage should be important to you. Please include a brief description of where your family is from, and how you could spend time in search of your ancestors (What sources could you use to help find out about your Heritage?)

Heritage is the full range of our inherited traditions, monuments, objects, and culture. Most important, it is the range of contemporary activities, meanings, and behaviors that we draw from them. Heritage includes, but is much more than preserving, excavating, displaying, or restoring a collection of old things. It is both tangible and intangible, in the sense that ideas and memories--of songs, recipes, language, dances, and many other elements of who we are and how we identify ourselves--are as important as historical buildings and archaeological sites.

Heritage is, or should be, the subject of active public reflection, debate, and discussion. What is worth saving? What can we, or should we, forget? What memories can we enjoy, regret, or learn from? Who owns "The Past" and who is entitled to speak for past generations? Active public discussion about material and intangible heritage--of individuals, groups, communities, and nations--is a valuable facet of public life in our multicultural world.

Heritage is a contemporary activity with far-reaching effects. It can be an element of far-sighted urban and regional planning. It can be the platform for political recognition, a medium for intercultural dialogue, a means of ethical reflection, and the potential basis for local economic development. It is simultaneously local and particular, global and shared.

Heritage is an essential part of the present we live in--and of the future we will build.
