This pack allows for students to explore a variety of festivals from around the world and participate in numerous learning experiences. There is a poster for each celebration which can be used as a discussion starter, writing stimulus or visual literacy device. These can be used for any age group and are open ended.
The Research Cards are great to stimulate world wide inquiry and can be used by students recording information directly on the card or used as a starting point for larger projects.
The Task Cards are full of ideas for creative projects for students to design and make and include one project's detailed instructions. These are great for procedure reading and writing.
These all print out A4 in size.
