which contains information on all of the holidays and their traditions as an introduction to the
assignments of the students
For the student presentations: the instructor will give the children access to computers, paper,
pencils, art supplies, etc., for them to come up with their own presentation on the holiday that
pertains to them to later share with the class.

2. -
For the movie: the teacher will supply YouTube clips or full length movies (if possible) to show to
the students each holiday
For the graphic organizers: after the students have been informed with all of the holidays and
their traditions, the teacher will provide them with a graphic organizer to fill in with their
knowledge and the information of each holiday
R: Require learner participation
For any work the student has to do to be presented or given to the teacher – the graphic organizers and
presentations – they are allowed to work in groups and help each other. Otherwise, the students are
expected to give 100% attention and participate when asked or needed.
E: Evaluate and revise
