discuss their own holiday traditions and will use various technologies to achieve this.
Media Format: Students will listen to holiday songs on youtube in order to gain a better understanding
of different traditions. Students will also use google images in order to see pictures of the different
holidays they have discussed.
Materials
Students will each have a laptop computer and headphones. Students will also need a composition
notebook and a pen. Because this is a short one day lesson these are the only materials the students
will need.
Utilize Media and Materials
Students will need to first take out their notebooks. They will ask their partner 5 questions about their
holiday traditions. 3 of these questions will be provided by the teacher. The other two the student
must come up with on their own. The 3 questions given will be: What dates do you celebrate your
major holidays? What songs do you sing during these holidays? Is this a large family holiday or one for
your immediate family only?
Students then will use their laptops to look up on youtube the songs that their partner mentioned
during the interview. Once they have looked that up they will use the calendar on their laptop to see
when the next holiday of their partner is, and they will create a reminder for themselves. Student will
then look up pictures of the traditional holiday sequence of events for their partner’s holiday.

researching the holiday traditions. At the end of the class the students will again meet with their
partner to make sure that what they found was in deed accurate.

the students will show the class what they learned about their partner’s holiday traditions and they will
show the class the youtube video (with the song).
