In this lesson, students will practice observing and writing details as they study about the ways different countries depict Santa.
The student will be able to create a timeline showing when major changes and additions have happened in our Christmas traditions.
Students are not often aware how Christmas is celebrated differently around the world. This project will allow students to study in-depth how other countries and cultures celebrate Christmas.
This art project encourages students to be creative in their use of the candy cane shape.
Using the story, The Little Matchstick Girl, as a springboard, students will explore what Christmas is like for thousands of children across the country who live below the poverty level.
