The group of middle-school boys I work with for language arts are working on a writing assignment based on this website:

The day I was born

They will be writing a report that includes what was happening the day they were born, as well as what important things happened on that day during other years. It will also include prices, music, and trends from the year of their birth.
   The cover page will include photographs of the child as a baby and how he looks now.


  I have been having so much fun helping them to do the research that I thought other people might enjoy this project as well.
