traditionsquestions

For your expository writing:

You may write about any tradition that your family celebrates or observes. Your traditions do not need to be centered on any holiday. It could be eating dinner together each night, or it could be going to church together. It could be the way you say goodbye to each other. However, it must be a tradition and not a custom or habit.

You will need to conduct some personal research by asking members of your family about the tradition.

Approximately when did the tradition begin?

Who were the people who began it and why?

If possible try to describe where your family traditions have come from. (Did the tradition start with a grandparent, or a sibling? Is your tradition from a specific country?)

Where and when does the tradition take place?

How has it changed over time, and what were the events that made it necessary to change.
