Holiday Culture IDU – Blue Team

Essential Question: How do various
cultures celebrate Christmas or comparable holiday?
 You
just finished what is
certainly one of the most wonderful times of the year: Winter Break!
As a part of that break, many of us observed some sort
of December holiday, whether it was Christmas, Hanukah, or some other
great celebration. So, to
begin our studies for the winter, we are going to learn about a variety
of these traditions from all over the world.
To do this, your team
will research and present how various
cultures celebrate Christmas or a comparable holiday.
