Spanish II Final Project: ¿Quién Soy Yo? (el título del proyecto)
You will create a slide presentation about you! This guide details the information you must
include. YOU decide how you want your final project to look. Students have created books in
past semesters, but this semester students will be required to prepare a computer-based
presentation. (Computer access will be addressed alter the description.) The format is the
ONLY difference. Your project should be neat, appropriately organized, and demonstrative of
your highest abilities. Make sure that you cover each of the following topics WITH THE
APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF SLIDES for each section. Pictures and writing are expected on
each slide. Some slides require audio and/or video narration. Please guard this guide and your
grading rubric with your life, as it is worth 5 points on your final project grade. You will hand
this to your teacher along with a rewritable CD marked with your name that contains your
project.

You might need to seek help outside of class in tutorial. Please make an appointment.
