(translated in
French)

Pictures and any

animals you
might have with
brief sentences.

Your family tree

(pictures and
writing, which
follows the
example given)

Your Tree
The tree can be your own family, a celebrity
family, a cartoon family, a made-up family.
The objective is for you to use French & be
able to describe people. If you do not feel
comfortable using your own family, you dont
have to. But you still have to do the project,
so find another family that you want to use.

A Theme
You will present this project during your next
meeting at GSDA.
Choose a theme for your background. NOT a
tree. DO NOT TURN IN A TREE!!!
Pick a theme that makes sense to your
family. If your favorite family vacation is the
beach, use seashells as the main idea. If
your family plays sports together, use a
sports theme (I like volleyball, so mine would
deal with the beach and have a net).

Past Themes Ideas

A dart board
Dolphins
Halloween Costumes & candy corn
Cars
The Game of Life
Famous baseball players
Disney characters
TV shows

Pictures
The theme pictures can count as your
pictures.
You dont have to use real photos if you dont
want to.
You can draw your own pictures if you like.

writing the text portion for 5 of your
family members in French.
