Spatial - Students draw pictures to express holiday celebrations. Linguistic - Students are the scribes for the holiday descriptions. They interview elders for customs and folklore. Musical - Students identify the music that accompanies holiday celebrations. In truth we have always had the best tool of all - a natural curiosity that drives us to ask questions.
Questions are our best tools for learning.
Building from what the students already know they will formulate their questions. Imagine that today is a holiday in your country. Suppose the reason for a national holiday didn't happen. This requires some planning and effort but is very rewarding. It is also only a door to the full richness and potential of this valuable learning opportunity for students.
