A creative lesson shines a spotlight on Christmas celebrations throughout six different countries. Scholars read an informative text and share their new-found knowledge with their peers. After hearing about each country, pupils choose one then draw a scene that depicts a traditional holiday celebration. A whole-class discussion on similarities and differences closes the learning experience.
