-
Make a display out of the family trees! Print the Instagram
Postings Handout on cardstock and have students place their
Instagram Family Trees on the wall. The cardstock holds up
well while students go around and comment on their peers’
posts.
-
Do you have a student who might be embarrassed about sharing his or her
family? Consider having them choose the Spanish royal family instead of their
own. If you’d like to offer more families, consider having them use a famous
singer, athlete, or actress from a Spanish speaking country. You may want to do
some front work to make sure the chosen celebrity has at least 4 members in
their family.
-
As for picture sizes, on the Instagram Postings Handouts you
see that your students have some flexibility. There are two
templates that are 4”x6”. There are some other smaller templates.
I recommend that you ask students to bring pictures that can be
cropped and resized and use one of the other sizes that I’ve
included. You could also give students the Instagram Postings Handouts at the
beginning, so that students can compare the pictures they have with
the size of the posting they want to use.
-
It is up to you if students can draw pictures on the Instagram Postings Handouts.
It is quite possible to allow students to draw their family members, but I
personally believe the project will lose some of its value without real images.
-
Instead of using this paper-based project, consider actually using Instagram! Of
course, you must check with your school to make sure this is allowed.
o If you decide to do this digitally, I recommend you create a school related
account for yourself. Students can then include you in the post! For
example, my school friendly account is CMEspanol. Students tag me in the
post and my account will notify me so I can look at the posts later.
o Have students add #spanishfamilytree, #frenchfamilytree, or language
appropriate tag.
o Have students hashtag the family vocabulary they have learned. For
example, “Mi #hermana se llama Aimee. Mi #hermana es de Michigan.”
o Specify if you want other vocabulary hashtagged. Be careful though – it
is too much if they hashtag every word they have ever learned in
another language.
