Foreign Language Travel Scrapbook Project

This is a project that can be done with level 1 students in a foreign language.  It gives them an opportunity to use the vocabulary and structures typically taught in a first year course.

• French Travel Project
• Spanish Travel Project

The focus of this project is travel and geography vocabulary.  Once students make the scrapbook of a trip, there are opportunities to use the books to do additional speaking, reading, listening and writing activities.

• Begin by giving a sheet with directions for creating a travel scrapbook with directions for each page including examples.
• Then hand out a storyboard for students to do a rough draft of their book.
• Students then assemble the travel scrapbook.
• When the books are done, students read their book to the entire class or to a small group.
• Provide a sheet to those students who are listening so they can fill in information when they are listening to other students in the class read their final book.

A final activity gives  students a chance to use the information that they recorded during the presentations to write sentences about that they heard and saw. You can download complete, ready-to-use versions of these projects here:
