PowerPoint, printers (if needed), and coloring materials such as markers, colored pencils, rulers,
and tape.

will give students the opportunity to share what information they found with the rest of the class.

students are paying attention, each student will be required to write three things they learned
from a presentation and turn it in at the end of the lesson.
Evaluate and Revise

2. Stephanie Sullivan
Every student will provide me with written feedback about the lesson. For example, students will
explain and describe what they liked or didn’t like about the lesson. Students will participate in
group discussion regarding what they learned from the presentations. Students will complete a
short assignment where they complete one of the objectives by naming at least five holiday
traditions with 100% accuracy.
