Family or House Project

You have a choice for this project. You may make a family tree OR a replica of your (or any) house.

Family Tree: For the family tree, you must add a minimum of 10 family members and 4 generations. The tree

could be on a poster board, but you could be more creative and make a mobile or diorama as well. In addition

to the actual tree, you must write a minimum of 4 sentences about each member of your family. You can use

any of the vocabulary we have covered so far. This means you need to include details about what your family

eats, where they live, where they are from, what they are like, and things they like to do. I expect your

sentences to be complete, however, not complicated. Everything needs to be in PRESENT tense because it is

the only verb tense you have learned so far. This means DO NOT ASK ME HOW TO SAY how do you saywas, had, went, used to be, watched, listened etc. USE WHAT YOU KNOW!!!!

House layout/ diorama: you may also choose to make a layout of a house. You could do this be making it on

a poster, or be more creative and make a model with a box (diorama). You need to include all the rooms of

your home, as well as furniture. You need to label a minimum of 10 things in the house. In addition, you must

also write a minimum of 4 sentences about each of the things your house. You can use any of the vocabulary

we have covered so far. This means you need to include details about where you do certain activities in the

house, what the house is like, and where the house is. I expect your sentences to be complete, however, not

complicated. Everything needs to be in PRESENT tense because it is the only verb tense you have learned so

far. This means DO NOT ASK ME HOW TO SAY how do you say was, had, went, used to be, watched,listened etc. USE WHAT YOU KNOW!!!!
