Project Guidelines• No matter which project you choose, be prepared to present your project to

the class. We will work on our projects on Monday, and present them on Tuesday.

• For the artist project, you may design a poster or a PowerPoint presentation. Include biographical information, characteristics, interesting information, and pictures of representative pieces.

• For the celebrity project, find pictures of 3-4 celebrities, and for each one, provide 3-4 sentences stating what that person did to get ready this morning. Illustrate the meaning of your sentences—for example, if you say “Elle s’est maquillée”, include pictures/drawings of makeup next to that sentence.

• For the photo/video presentation of your own daily routine, you may use either present tense or passé composé. Try to include at least 5-6 things you do for your daily routine, and caption each picture/frame of the video.
