This document outlines an ASSURE lesson plan for teaching students about holiday traditions from around the world. The class has 20 students from various religious and ethnic backgrounds. Students will be assigned a holiday to research and will create a YouTube video, poster, and Twitter account depicting the traditions of that holiday. The teacher will require students to actively participate by writing scripts, acting in videos, editing, posting to social media. Students will be evaluated based on their YouTube videos, posters displayed in class, and content on their Twitter accounts.
