Show your sample collage and Say: Es mi familia. Talk about the different images in your collage. You can include pets. 3. Pass out card stock or construction paper, glue sticks, markers, and piles of ribbon and stickers. 4. Have students write “Mi familia” at the top of the page. Lesson 13: Mi familia | 61
