GMU Hanans Christian family Home Visit US citizens & Egyptian Immigrants Discussion
Question Description
i have posted the assignment below, but before you get digging, this assignment is about diverse family, the professor is asking us to write about a family we that is different from ours. So the family I have chosen is this:
he family I have chosen is from Egypt, Hanan is a single mother and she has an 8 years old daughter named Monica. The family is Christian. based on what I know, the family is middle-class. Their immigration status is US citizen.
The professor also asked
- “How is this family marginalized in a way you are not? In other words, what are the demographic and identity characteristics that place this family at a disadvantage due to our societal structures?”
And my short answer was this:
The family is marginalized in a way I am not is that the family I have chosen is a single mother who raised a daughter in the united states alone without a husband. It is usually known that it is difficult to raise a child alone, let alone that its a daughter. The mother has definitely faced some financial issues.
Also please include in the memo that I am different from this family by being a person who lives with both of her parents, in good loving family, with 3 brothers, being the only girl, that is protected from everyone around her because being the only daughter.
what we have in common is that we both come from the middle east although i am from Jordan and a muslim while this Family from Eygpt and is christian. etc
Please ask me about anything below if you couldn’t come up with an idea or felt a little confused.

Diverse Family & Community Characteristics Memo 1 : Memo 1 should include the following four sections (see attached rubric as well).
- Rationale for Selecting Family: Students will describe the family they selected and will include responses to the following: (a) a rationale for why they chose this family, (b) an explanation of the ways they think the families experiences are different from their own, (c) what they have observed about how society views the child and family (either based on race, ethnicity, family structure, sexual orientation, religion, etc.), and (d) an honest attempt to identify and describe any assumptions they have about this family. BE SURE TO SPEND ENOUGH TIME AUTHENTICALLY EXPLORING YOUR ASSUMPTIONS AND SOCIETY’S ASSUMPTIONS.
- Introducing themselves: Students will find a way to determine and communicate the common ground between themselves and the family they selected (e.g., gender, work, education, experiences, etc.) as these help with initial introductions. They will describe the introduction and the process they will use to introduce themselves to the family.
- Questions to assist in learning about the child: Students will develop a set of questions that they will use to help them learn more about the child in terms of the childs likes, dislikes, interests, and experiences.
- Questions to assist in learning about the parents and family: Students will develop a set of questions to ask during the home visit to begin to understand the parents goals for themselves as well as their children, including goals that reflect the linguistic and ability diversity of the child. They will use the following questions to guide them: How did this family come to be in this place where you have met them? What do you need to understand about their experiences in order to understand them? What is their perspective about their child or children, including the childs or childrens linguistic and/or ability diversity? These questions should also help students begin to learn more about the familys everyday experiences as well as prior experiences that might be insightful as they begin to work with them.
