3. Have the students watch the two videos, then have them take a piece of paper and
construct a Venn diagram (Two overlapping circles.Have them title one circle “chinese
new years” and the other circle “january 1st New year” label the overlapping piece
“same”. Have them fill out the diagram with information that is unique about each
celebration, and have them fill out the overlapping section with things that each
celebration has in common. After they work alone, let them get into small groups and
share their ideas with each other. If you have some leftover time then prompt the
students to create a venn diagram to collect the response of the whole class. Have the
students hand in the venn diagrams.
Thank You for coming and hope you had
a fantastic day!
