A fun twist on Halloween - the science behind our enjoyment of the spooky holiday. This resource is a two page reading comprehension with comprehension questions. It provides an overview of Halloween’s origins, tracing back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain and its evolution into the modern celebration. It explains the science behind why people enjoy fear, discussing the role of adrenaline and the fight-or-flight response.
The question sheet includes vocabulary, comprehension, and an inference question to test students understanding of the text and encourage critical thinking. There are two extension tasks offering additional tasks for deeper exploration such as inferring why Halloween has become popular in Japan and researching the traditions and customs of the Day of the Dead and comparing the Mexican festival with Halloween. [computer suite or library lesson to enable students to do independent research]
The questions are presented in 3 ways: a one sheet printout - students can then write answers in their books. A two page printout with marks given for each question and space for students to write their answers. A two page printout with no marks given for each question and space available for students to write their answers.
