History of Ones Self

Throughout many social studies lessons, teachers are always asking students to learn about the history of many different people.  One of the things they never do though is ask them to look at the history of ones self.  This type of project helps students learn and understand the importance history by explaining where they come from.  Also, while the students are finding out about their past, they can make a book that depicts the major highlights of their life allowing them to see the parallels to their lives and the ones in the text book.
