During the holiday season my students and I research Christmas and holiday traditions from around the world. This is a great way to explore various cultures and to brush up on our world geography. I created this simple project form as a way for the children to document the information they find. We research books and Internet sites (there's a list of good sites on the 2nd page of the document...as a bonus, there are also some fun holiday sites you can use as a "brain break" for you or the children) to locate this information. The children create artwork to illustrate a typical holiday scene from their country of choice and then we share these while locating the areas on the map.
