This document outlines a lesson plan for a 4th grade class to study and demonstrate their knowledge of holiday traditions from around the world. The class has slightly more girls than boys and includes students from various religious and ethnic backgrounds. In the first week, students will study different countries' holiday traditions. In the second week, students will research in groups and create posters about their chosen traditions using various media. The teacher will use visuals, readings, activities, and videos to engage students and accommodate different learning styles.

The general characteristics to this particular class would be that they are fourth graders,
where the girls outnumber the boys by only two. These students come from different
backgrounds; 2 Muslims, 3 Jewish and 2 African Americans. My fourth grade class will
demonstrate their knowledge of a variety of holiday traditions from around the world by creating
group posters with different forms of media with 100% accuracy in two weeks. I will have my
students studying how different parts of the world celebrate holidays for the first week, going
through a variety of countries and holidays to show them all their options. I will assign groups in
the middle of the week. The second week will consist of their research. Internet websites,
YouTube videos, and local guests from different parts of the world will all be a part of my
media. I will create visuals, readings, hands on activities (such as booths of the different cultures
that have artifacts and foods on them), and videos to involve all the students and learning styles.
At the end of the lesson, I will ask the students if they enjoyed the project and what they would
do differerntly.
