Familia

El Arbol de la Familia...

This project contains three parts:

• an oral presentation: present family tree, 5 questions prepared
• an artistic representation of your, a celebrity, or an imaginary family tree
• a brief write-up of how you would answer the questions: What do you do with your family? What chores or responsibilities do you and your family members have?
  

Details:

• Rough draft = 20 classwork points:
  
• (1) shows the teacher what kind of family tree you will create, (2) includes at least 7 family members, (3) has a written caption for each family member that has the name, and a brief description (ex. Este es mi padre Francisco. El es muy trabajador y cariñoso)

• Final Product = 20 project points:
  
• Family Tree: 10 points for appearance (clean, and shows time and thought), 10 points for the captions.

• Oral Participation = 20 project points:
• Again, as we did with the food unit, this portion will be graded on effort and preparedness.
• Bring to class: (1) a written script that answers the questions "What do you like to do with your family?" and "What chores or responsibilities do you and your family have?"; (2) at least 5 questions that you could ask each presenter; and (3) your family tree.
