Project: The main project of this unit will be an interactive family album. Students will choose five members of their families (or five famous people or personalities to be in their imagined families), get pictures of them, and put them online (this can be done in class with a digital camera, if necessary). Using Audacity sound recording and Jumpcut video editing technology, students will create a montage of their families, narrated by themselves in Spanish, briefly introducing each member.
