class have the most number of brothers? Who have the most number of
sisters? And see if there are some similarity among the family trees.

minutes. When students are sharing, student are expected to tell what they have
drew on their family tree and introduce that to her/his peers. Peers are also
responsible for checking each others use of keywords.

2 minutes. Briefly introduce your family and please help each other learn by
correcting them when they made a mistake with the key words!
