Traditions are an important part of

the culture of a group of people.
One of our traditions is the way we
celebrate holidays, such as
Christmas.

Do other countries celebrate the

way we do?
Do their celebrations include gifts,
decorations, special music and
food?

Task:

Your mission is to find the

following information for the
country you are sent to:
Location (on a map)
Flag
Date and Name of celebration
Reasons for celebration
Gifts (including who brings them)
Decorations
Special Food &/or Music

When you have explored

these traditions create a digital
presentation to share with the
class.

To Solve the Case:

Step 1: Find out information to learn the traditions of
the country you have been sent to.
Step 2: Take notes about the customs you will need to
report on.
Step 3: Create a digital presentation to share with the
class which explains each of the areas listed.
Step 4: Your digital presentation should have at lease 7
slides: a title slide, an introductory slide, four or five
slides describing the customs and a concluding slide.
Step 5: You will need to include at least 4 graphics and
a transition between the slides. Sound and animation
are not required but may be included. BE CREATIVE!
