Description
Your students will each be assigned a winter holiday to research. You can decide whether they work individually or in small groups. Students will learn how to do internet research to find out more about their assigned holiday. They will answer the questions in their Winter Holidays Research Journal to learn all about it. Then, they will do a final report about their holiday and art project (creating a decoration for their holiday). An editable invitation for an optional “Holidays Around The World Fair” is included for students to show off their hard work to their parents, other classes, etc.
