4. Does your family have any traditions? - If yes, please describe them. -If not, are there any traditions you would like to start with your family?

5. Clothes Pin Person: You must decorate your clothes pin to look like either your inventor or a traditional citizen of the country you have chosen. You may use any materials provided at school or your own from home.

** Your presentation may be in the form of a poster, flipchart, powerpoint, video, play, or something else your creative minds come with. You may choose to record an interview with your "inventor" if you would like. Remember be creative :)
