Create your family tree.

You are free to be as creative as you want in the design of your tree, but it
must meet the following specifications:
Projects must be no larger than letter size (8 1/2 x 11").
Project must have your name and the date written on the back.
Your tree must have the heading Meae Familiae Arbor (familia is feminine).
Your tree must show at least three generations (i.e., must include grandparents),
with at least ten total relatives. You may include a pet.
Name your relatives. Include the following for each relative:
The family member word in English and Latin (e.g. mother - mater). See below for
Latin family member vocabulary.
A picture, illustration, or graphic representing your relative. It may be a picture, or it
may just be an illustration or graphic. Any image you feel represents your relative
will do.

Describe your relatives.

On a separate sheet tell about your relatives by composing sentences in
Latin using the following sentence patterns. Use each sentence
pattern twice for a total of ten Latin sentences. Each sentence should
describe a different family member. Remember that the form of the
adjective meus, -a, -um must have the same gender as the family member it
modifies, not you!
