Conduct a 5-question family migration interview with a family elder (or published-family alternative)
Use the 5-question MG-8 protocol to interview a family elder (with caregiver consent) about the family's migration story OR, with teacher coordination, interview a published family character (Yuyi Morales's narrator, Allen Say's grandson narrator, Bao Phi's child narrator) using the same 5 questions. Record with permission. Transcribe key answers in lesson 12. Quote at the capstone gallery.

Common misconceptions
- Believing every family knows their full migration story (many do not - the published-family-story alternative is equally honored)
- Believing the child must do this with their own family (the alternative is always available)
- Believing one interview captures everything (lesson 13 introduces corroboration: ask TWO family members and notice the differences)
