Students will research online sites to locate several different holiday traditions from cultures other than their own. They will utilize a graphic organizer to record information. For the final project, students will create a visual project(poster, brochure, etc.) to present their favorite tradition to the class.
Teacher Introduction
Fellow Educators,
I have a few questions for you:
- Do you love the holidays?
- Would you enjoy learning about holiday traditions from around the globe with your students?
- Are you frustrated that holiday-related curriculum has virtually disappeared from many districts around the country?
If you answered YES to the above questions, then:
Do this webquest and you can have fun along with your students! You and your students can discover all those amazing holiday traditions or customs that are celebrated in cultures all over the world!
Do this webquest and you can incorporate a dozen or more learning standards into one lesson! This project incorporates learning standards in reading, writing, technology, social studies, art, and communication.
Enjoy!
