Project Unit 1: Incredible families
1. Group Formation & Family Selection
Work in groups of 4–5 students.
Choose a famous family to research.
You can choose a real family or a fictional family from films or sitcoms.
Examples of famous families:
👑 The British Royal Family (real)
🎬 The Simpsons (TV show)
💫 The Skywalker Family (Star Wars)
🦸 The Incredibles (movie)
💍 The Weasley Family (Harry Potter)
🧛 The Addams Family (sitcom/movie)
2. Research
Find simple information about your family:
Who are the main family members?
What are they famous for?
What is their personality? (Use adjectives like funny, brave, powerful, creative...)
What challenges or problems do they face?
What impact or influence do they have on society, culture, or entertainment?
3. Scriptwriting
Write a short podcast script (about 130–150 words).
Your script should include:
Introduction of the family.
Description of the family members and their main story or achievements.
Discussion of the family’s impact or why they are well known.
Remember to:
Use adjectives to describe them (funny, famous, strong, etc.).
Use past tenses (was, were, had, lived, became...) when telling their story.
4. Podcast Recording
Record your podcast using Audacity, GarageBand, or even a smartphone.
Add an intro music or sound effects to make it more fun.
5. Sharing the Podcast
Play your podcast for the class and enjoy listening to other groups’ stories!
