Products
Holiday Passport Investigation Notebook
Students complete a research-style notebook with station observations, annotated pictures or labels, a draft comparison, and a short written or oral reflection on what they noticed. The notebook proves each student’s own understanding of the celebrations, evidence, and cultural meaning.
Around the World Holiday Comparison Gallery Walk Display
Pairs or small groups create a revised Venn diagram display with visuals, labels, and a short oral explanation comparing two holidays and the meaning behind each celebration. The display must use evidence from each member’s notebook and include one note about a similarity, a difference, and a question that remains.
