As a foreign langugae teacher, I have always bringing traditional holidays and customs into curriculum teaching students about the differences and similarities that divers cultures carry with themselves.
Just recently, my class was assigend to work on holidays around the world, describing each holiday, their occasions and dates and what people do during those days.
Students in my class worked together in groups of four, each assigned four different holidays from four different country. They were given resources on the web to search and organize materials in this regard.
The tools they used to design their artifacts were modified images from internet explainging about holidays, pictures of different people around the world celebrating their special days and graphic paint/draw images bringing the people around the globe all together to celebrate the Earth Day..
They also created Greeting cards, saying in two languages congratulatory messages to their friends for holidaysA group had also worked on a 3D artifact, creating colored eggs for Easter in collaboration with other group who made baskets for Picnic day on the Persian calendar
