PROJECTS: My Family Tree

project: my family tree

To conclude this learning situation, we are going to create our own family tree.

With this project we will be able to show our family to our fellow students.

First, we have to choose a format to draw the family tree from these ones. You can draw your family or you can paste photos. You can even make a video introducing your family!

After that, we have to write sentences to describe our family tree. Look at these examples:

- This is my brother, John, he is tall and funny.

- This is my dad, Peter, he has black short hair. He is very strong.

- This is my mother, Anna, she is pretty and clever. She has long straight hair.

- This is my grandma, Alice, she has grey hair and she is lovely.

- This is my pet, Bobby, it is very naughty!

You can review the adjectives to describe people with this video and this summary:

And finally, you have to present your family tree to the rest of the class using the information you have prepared.

You can see how this girl present her family tree:

We will record it and post it in a Padlet wall.

Let's work and have fun!
