Looking for a different way to assess your students’ knowledge about family in French?
I have the perfect project for you! The Family Tree Project.
This is a lesson/project that can be used for students to review and show their expertise about family, vocabulary and grammar in French without the use of a traditional assessment.
Students are to complete the project individually. Students are able to use their own family for reference or students can create their own family by choosing people who are inspirational to them! That is when it gets really fun! Seeing students who they would want in their family…. And let me tell you, they never cease to amaze me! I have seen families with Drake, Céline Dion, Lebron James, Rob Gronkowski, Shakira, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, The Kardashians/Jenners, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Harry Styles, and more!
This lesson will take approximately 5-6 days to complete, depending on the level of your class. There is a written and creative section for this project as well as an oral presentation. You can change the amount of family members as well as how many family members students will need to write about all depending on their level and or ability.
Detailed instructions and rubrics are included with the activity.
As always, I hope that you have found this information useful and helpful to you!
Merci,
