Your assignment:Constructing A Pedigree for Your Family

• 1. Choose one of the traits from the “Variations of a Human Face”

• 2. Construct at least 3 generations:• REQUIRED: Your parents, your grandparents,

and your brothers and sisters.• Extra Credit for aunts, uncles, and cousins.• 8 1/2 by 11 paper• Correct symbols DUE MAY 26
