June Chronicles Challenge - Day #3
Use #10DaysofChronicles each time you publish to social.
Welcome to Day 3 of Chronicles Challenge!
Each day I’ll post a writing prompt for inspiration to write about an ancestral family. You’ll craft your chronicle and publish it where you can share it. Aim to spend no longer than 30 minutes each day on your chronicle.
Get tips on crafting your chronicles and remember to not over-think it.
Today's Prompt
Celebrate an ancestor's contribution to their community
It’s been noted that people were much more civically and socially oriented in past generations. Share the story with an image of one way one ancestor was involved in his or her community. Some ideas:
Church
Scouts
Fire fighter
Local political office
Charity organization
Fraternal organization
Steps to Craft your Chronicle
Step 1: Read the prompt and pull out your notes and records on one ancestral family.
Step 2: Select an image (document, photo, map, postcard, artwork, or drawing) and write 50-150 words capturing that moment in time.
Step 3: Ta-da you have a Chronicle! Publish your Chronicle on your social media or your blog to share with family.
P.S. Today's prompt is to inspire you. If it doesn't work for you, write about anything on your ancestors.
