Unité 5
Livre de ma famille et mes amis
You will be creating a book of family and friends. You may do this project on the computer or write it by hand. This
project will count as a TEST/MAJOR ASSESSMENT for the 4th Marking Period.
Step 1:
Choose 3-5 family members and 3-5 friends. You must come up with a total of 10 people, both friends and
family.
Step 2: Using the ER verbs, IR verbs (Step 1-Step 2) as well as ALLER (to go) and AVOIR (to have) in the necessary
conjugations, you will create a book with the following pages:
FRONT COVER:
Mes amis et moi or
You need a FRENCH TITLE for your book and an AUTHOR of your book. (Suggested titles:
Ma vie (my life) or
Ma famille et moi . The author would be YOU!!
INSIDE: Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8:
Introduce your friends—one page per person.
*An image of him/her or the activity they do, is needed (a photo/a drawing).
*Tell me the person’s name. (1 SENTENCE—see example #1 below)
*TELL ME THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO YOU. (1 SENTENCE—see example # 2 below—USE THE POSSESSIVE
ADJECTIVES HERE—mon, ma, mes etc)
*Then tell me what they DO using ER verbs, IR verbs, ALLER or AVOIR. (2 SEPARATE, DIFFERENT
SENTENCES—see examples # 3 and 4 below)
*You must have exactly 4 sentences PER PERSON!! The sentences MUST be different---do not repeat
the sentences! Be sure to include some NEGATIVE sentences telling me what people do NOT do. Remember
that you must CONJUGATE the verbs that you use!!
Example of a page:
LAUREL
1. Elle s’appelle Laurel. (Her name is Laurel.)
2. Laurel est ma nièce. (Laurel is my niece.)
3. Laurel travaille à New York. (Laurel works in New York.)
4. Elle ne va pas à l’université. (She does not go to the university.)
*****Notice in the sentences above, I have used DIFFERENT VERBS (s’appeler (to be called/named)/etre (to
be)/travailler (to work)/ aller). This is your goal---use as MANY DIFFERENT VERBS AS POSSIBLE! *****
Page 9:
On this page, you must write about a FRIEND(s) AND YOURSELF. Remember, once you add
YOURSELF into a sentence with another person/people, you will be forced to use the NOUS form!!!! You will also need
four (4) sentences on this page. For the name sentence use: Nous nous appelons_____.
Page 10:
On this page, you must write about a GROUP of friends…but do NOT include yourself! Tell me what
THEY do. You will also need four (4) sentences on this page. Note about the name sentence on page 10: Il s’appelle is
only for one person….and Elle s’appelle is only for one person…what do you think happens to the ‘Il/Elle’ and the
‘appelle’ if you are referring to MORE than one person???? See me if you are not sure.

Rules
1. DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF TRANSLATION DEVICE—HUMAN OR ELECTRONIC. See me if you need a word or two, but
I WILL NOT PROVIDE you with words that are too advanced or that require knowledge above the French 1 level. The
purpose of this project is for you to USE WHAT YOU KNOW. PROJECTS WHICH HAVE USED TRANSLATORS OF ANY
KIND WILL RECEIVE A ZERO WITH NO CHANCE FOR A MAKE UP.
2. Follow all directions as outlined above. NOTE: different conjugations of the same verb….are still the SAME VERB:
example: Je vais à New York and Nous allons chez moi---are both using the verb ALLER (vais & allons are
conjugations of the verb ALLER)—these are NOT two different verbs.
3. Late projects will only be accepted for 2 CALENDAR days (not class periods), after the due date unless you were
absent. Projects will lose 10 (TEN) POINTS PER CALENDAR DAY LATE.
