Holidays Around the World Research

Each middle school advisory will research 2-3 holidays. The holidays can be religious and non-religious holidays and should be from all over the world.  

Once you have selected your holidays, search for them in WorldBook, World Religions, and CultureGrams.

In CultureGrams World Edition, each country profile has a "holidays" section which lists describes the holidays. Look for related picture books in both the Killebrew and Faissler libraries by searching our catalogs (linked below).

In WorldBook, search "feasts and festivals" to find a listing of all related articles. 

 

Some ideas for how to organize the information you will share are:

Did you Know?

Little known facts...

How holidays were started

Poems

Story Telling or Sharing Picture Books

 

Databases
