June Chronicles Challenge - Day #4
Use #10DaysofChronicles each time you publish to social.
Welcome to Day 4 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
Reconstruct an ancestor's journey to a new country
The new country could be across an ocean or just across the United States from East to West as territories, or from the South to the North in the 20th century.
What form(s) of transportation did he or she use?
How long was the journey?
What were the dangers of traveling at this time?
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.
