This resource details 33 slides of tasks, teacher notes and information and activities. The lessons are aimed at grade 7/8 (USA) year 8/9 students (UK). There are at least 3 lessons worth of activities depending on your class ability and personal teacher choices. I encourage you to adapt this to your students needs and abilities. This would suit those last few days of term where you need something educational but seasonal and fun to do (but you are just too tired to make the slides yourself) The Lesson objective is: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand and appreciate the cultural significance of Christmas by exploring various traditions and customs associated with the holiday. Included in this resouce: Detailed and decorative PPT slides with information on Christmas traditions including its religious aspects, the significance of 25th December, world wide traditions, Victorian influence on current traditions and much more. A range of tasks including socratic questioning for class discussion, suggested 40 minute reading options and analysis slides you can share with your class to complete and a creative writing task.
