  3. Required Research Interview: You must conduct an interview with a parent or another adult about ONE of the following: 1. Why your name was selected OR 2. Feelings about your name and how it fits you and/or your family. This is not about your feelings… those will come through in the project. Origin: Where did your name come from? Meaning : Many times, a baby name website may help with this. It may be something you get from the interview, if you have a unique name. Variations : What are there variations of your name? Ex. Smith, Smyth Famous/Historical People: Find those with names the same as yours. Ex: Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth Survey: Pretend you could change your name. What would it be? Any historical or cultural significance? When you have determined your new name, do a poll of at least twenty people to see which name they prefer.

  4. Presentation: • Create a poster on a LARGE poster board. The poster should include the following: • Your name should be at the top of the presentation board. • A short blurb or summary of your findings for each of the five research points. These should all be at least five typed sentences. • A graph that reflects the results from your poll (bar or pie). • A Works Cited page should be attached to the back or your poster. It should be typed and in MLA format. • Extra Credit: Create a family tree. This should be a professional-looking representation and should go back at least three generations. • This assignment will count as a test grade.

  5. Works Cited In your works cited, you must have at least three sources. The interview will count as one.
