Celebration
Students will learn about multicultural celebrations. Students Will: 1. Develop an understanding of how some African-Americans remember and celebrate their African heritage. Kwanzaa is a cultural celebration to help African-Americans remember their heritage. It is also a time of joy and sharing. The goal of Kwanzaa is to put the 7 principles into practice in their daily lives. During this week long celebration, families get together and reflect on cultural values. It is a time for reflection, joy and making promises for a better year. The African-Americans wear traditional clothing-a dashiki for the men (a shirt) and dresses for the women adorned with beautiful beads. The girls also wear a gele or turban about their head. They sing songs, tell stories and dance. This lesson is designed to give students a basic background on the celebration of Kwanzaa.
