At the end of the lessons on how to say "I like to", "I love to", etc. and personality traits through astrology, students have been asked, working individually, to select AT LEAST five traits from a handout of the 12 traditional astrological signs that describe them best to create a sign unique to them, give it a name, and create a symbol for it. They were encouraged to write a short paragraph following the model of the handout which describe the sign in a more fluid, detailed fashion, for bonus marks.

Students will produce a poster on a Hispanic artist of their choice. The poster will need to include the artist’s name, his/her portrait, a short paragraph on his/her life, two artistic pieces by the artists which the students like the most and why (100 words for each piece). All written elements need to be in students own words. All illustrations can be hand-drawn or printed. This project is to be done individually and research should be done through the Internet or the library (although plagiarism will be dealt with strictly, resulting in an instant fail). The posters will be handed in for marking and outstanding work may be displayed in class.
