Social Studies

Before the winter break, the students started a project where they researched a holiday celebrated in another country or celebrated by a different culture.  We are now using the pamphlets they have made as a visual for an oral presentation on Friday and Monday.  They have been working on their scripts this week.  They are expected to share with us
-  the country they chose
- 2 - 3 interesting facts about their country
- 2 similarities and differences between the country the chose and Canada
- the flag
- Location facts (continent, nearby countries, nearby oceans, etc)
- Holiday facts
           - Name and date of holiday
           - visual of what the holiday would look like
           - how to say "happy holidays" or similar for that holiday
           - what activities or traditions are done to celebrate the holiday
           - Types of food eaten
           - Clothing worn
