Introduction

It is the year 2010. You have been given a grant by your country of heritage to write your family’s bibliography. The bibliography will then be entered in a contest where the winner will go on a tour of two countries of their choice.

Remember to write it in the preterite or imperfect tense since this is information from your past.



The Task

Task-

The bibliography can be in scrapbook form with descriptions in written form or can be presented in powerpoint.

It must include customs, the specific city or town your family was from, and foods typical of that area. Be creative! Use pictures to enhance your project. You will present it to the class once the project is complete. This will be used to enhance  your grades in your mainstream classroom.
