This booklet encourages your students to explore what Christmas means to them and those around them. They examine the Nativity, alongside traditions and symbols of the festive season, learning their meanings and discussing whether they believe the original message of Christmas is still at the centre of the celebration today. How those less fortunate can be helped at this time of year is touched upon with the lesson concluding in a group project to re-write or script the Christmas story aimed to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. A range of activities are incorporated within this booklet, including a quiz, drawing a story board, gathering research from print and video, annotating their thoughts and ideas, and group work.

This booklet is designed to help students distinguish fact and opinion and offer both positive and negative arguments to real and artificial Christmas trees. They discover the history behind the origins of the Christmas tree and discuss why they think it’s so popular. The social, economic, and environmental implications of each type of tree are discussed and analysed to aid the students in deciding which they think is more appropriate. Their task is to use what they have learnt to design a leaflet highlighting their opinion to help the public decide; this is then peer assessed. The lesson concludes with the students designing their own alternative Christmas tree using their hobbies as inspiration.
