HISTORICAL FAMILY DOORS
     By Melissa and Lindsay, Cape Elizabeth, grade 5

Our talking wall project is on a different kind of historical doors. These doors are talking walls for individual families.  Lindsay and Melissa each have a special family door at their house and we are going to compare them.  Each family's door has basic information about family and/or friends. Every year someone will stand against the basement door to see how much they have grown from the past year. They mark down height , year, and who the person is.
 
Lindsay's door has different names like friends [such as Melissa] and also other relatives. Lindsay's door was started in 1993.
 
Melissaís family has a different way of doing things. Their door only has her immediate family, not any relatives or friends. But, they began their door in 1993.
