My Writing Process

While drafting my questions to ask my Mormor I needed to ask open ended questions to make sure i got all the information i needed. I had a difficult time meeting up with my Mormor because i am very busy with sports and school. I found time and went to her house to Interview her. I was surprised by my Mormor’s answers and learned knew things about my Danish heritage. Another thing that i realized is that i don’t think i could’ve learned a new language as quick as my Mormor did . One thing that i found funny was how my Grandpa and my Mormor met. Overall this was a fun project that made me realize where i came from.
