Alles über
mich!
Over the course of the first 3
chapters, we’ve been learning about how to give information about
ourselves. This project is meant to
help pull together everything that we’ve done so far and to give you the
opportunity to apply what you’ve learned.
This will be worth 100 points so please work hard and do a good job. You will be given at least 3 days in class
to work on the computers and the final project will be due on Friday November
14, 2002.
Task: You are to create an “Alles über mich” (All About Me) book, video, or Power Point presentation. Your project must include the following
information about yourself:
- your name
- your age
- what you look like
- where you are from
- where you currently live
- what you like to do in your free time
- the members of your family (at least 3 generations) and
what they look like
- what your house is like
- other information that you would like to share.
You must also include at least 10
pages/slides or be at least 3 minutes in length. All writing and speaking should be done in GERMAN only and
should be written with complete sentences.
You will also read your books to
the class!
Available resources:
- the textbook
- EHS computers for
3 days in class (MS Word, Power Point, Photo Shop, scanners, etc)
- the art supplies I have in the room (markers, paper, yarn,
scissors, glue, etc)
- old magazines
- materials that you would like to bring in
* Unfortunately, I cannot lend out
audio/visual equipment to take home. If
you choose an option that requires this, you will need to provide it yourself.
