Women and Holidays 1. Partner with a class in a foreign country. Exchange information about holidays, ceremonies, folktales, traditions, etc., in which women are celebrated. Invite individual students to write a personal or narrative story describing the celebration. Have students in your class pair up with students in the partner class.
Students can discuss in their home class their reactions to their partner's essays.
Encourage students to talk about what they've learned about the partner class's culture through the essays. Women's Cultural Roles Partner with a classroom in a foreign country and exchange photographs of women in each country that depict different women's roles. Students can talk about the meaning of each role, or the diversity, etc. represented through each picture. We will post some of the project tips we receive. Scholastic Inc. All rights reserved.
