Winter+Holiday+Poster+Project

** Assignment 12 Final Project - Holiday Poster **

 To sum up the directions for this assignment:

 The poster assignment is completed over three days.

 The first day we research a Winter Holiday during class. Students choose just 1 of the following to research. Click on a holiday below to get started.  Christmas in France  Christmas in Germany  Christmas in Greece  Christmas in Italy  Las Posadas in Mexico  Christmas and New Years in Russia  St. Lucia Day in Sweden  Chinese New Year in China  Hanukkah  Ramadan  Kwanzaa

 While researching, answer the following questions about the Holiday you have selected. Do not try to answer the questions in order since not every question has an answer. If a questions asks for information about "my country" or "my holiday" it means write about the holiday you chose, not about the U.S.A.

<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Why is this holiday celebrated in my country? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What superstitions are associated with this holiday? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What might happen to any children who do not behave during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What foods are traditionally prepared during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What decorations are traditionally seen during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Is there a special person who brings gifts for this holiday? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What is a phrase you would hear during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Are there any special colors that are traditionally seen during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What game do the people of my country play during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What songs are traditionally sung during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> What customs or traditions does my country participate in during this holiday time? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Are presents left in a particular spot during this holiday time?

<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Again, it's important to keep in mind that not every question will have an answer. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> For instance, there may not be superstitions related to Kwanzaa or games played during Christmas in Italy.
