GENOGRAM ASSIGNMENT

CFD 135—Nory Behana & Heather Jaffe

TOTAL POINTS:  50

The goal of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to learn more about your family, genetic predispositions, environmental influences and apply knowledge you are gaining in this course to the analysis of your family of origin and the influences of various situations and experiences on you and your family.  (FOR ALL NAMES IN THIS ASSIGNMENT, USE ONLY FIRST NAMES—EXCEPT FOR INCLUDING YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME ON THE COVER SHEET.)

This entire assignment will be completed in a Power Point file and must be submitted in one file.  It needs to be readable, so carrying items from page to page to make print large enough to read is often necessary and encouraged.

 

Part 1 – Genogram (10 points based on thoroughness and following directions)

In Part 1, you will construct a Genogram of your family tracing your family of origin on both the maternal and the paternal sides back to your great grand-parents (i.e., 4 generations—you, your parents, your grandparents, and your great-grandparents).  Use Power Point.  Feel free to be creative! Photos are helpful.  You will not be sharing it in class, but you will be expected to download the file to Blackboard to submit it.  If you need help with Power Point or Blackboard, see the help desk at the library.

Use the symbols provided and display a symbol for each family member.  Number each symbol to correlate with the information provided on the Factual Data Sheet (Part 2).  This may take one or more separate slides in Power Point.

 

DO NOT USE THE RELATIONSHIP DESCRIBING LINE VARIATIONS EXPAINED IN THE TEXT ON PAGE 192 FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.
