Spanish Family Tree Project

Spanish Family Tree Project

·  Make a design of your family tree on a standard poster board.

·  Please use your vocabulary list as a reference. (Don’t forget about your pets if you have them!)

·  Your family may be real or fictional. You may create your own family! For example, Mickey & Minnie Mouse could be your parents, or Selena Gomez could be your sister. This project will count as a MAJOR (test) grade.

·  For every member of the family tree, you need to type a paragraph that must include five sentences with the following information: their name, the person’s relationship to you, a descriptive sentence, what they like to do (Le gusta . . .) and a sentence indicating something they do (use an ar/er/ir verb).

There are several ways to accomplish this. Here are a few examples:

·  Sample sentences for female family members:

·  Ésta es mi madre. (This is my mother)

·  Ella se llama María. (Her name is Maria)

·  Ella es alta. (She is tall.)

·  Le gusta bailar y leer libros. (She likes to dance and read books.)

·  Ella baila muy bien. (She dances very well.)

·  Sample sentences for male family members:

·  Éste es mi padre.(This is my father.)

·  Él se llama Juan. (His name is Juan.)

·  Él es alto. (He is tall.)

·  Le gusta jugar al golf.. (He likes to play golf.)

·  Él juega muchos deportes..(He plays many sports.)

Remember:

ü  The entire project must be written in Spanish. You will lose points for English usage.

ü  Family members must be in sequential order.

ü  Each paragraph must contain five sentences and be typed.

ü  The project must be neat and creative.

ü  You may use photos (copies of the real photos would be best), drawings (if you are an artist), clip art, magazine cut outs (neatly trimmed), etc…

ü  Do not use online Spanish translations.
