Teaching Diverse Holidays All-Year Long
I have always enjoyed teaching holidays! It is a great way for students to learn about cultural and social traditions from all around the world. A majority of the time, we teach about holidays that directly impact our students, which is important, too. However, our students should also be learning about celebrations that impact people all around the world. This is why I encourage your inclusion of diverse holidays all year long!
Research & Make a List of Diverse Holidays Youd Like to Include
First, you will want to do some research. Check out a few different websites and resources to find different cultures, religions, and countries holidays that youd like to include in your instruction. I like to make a list of the holidays in order from August to July. This will help when you are trying to fit them into your lesson planning! Dont forget to include the more common national holidays, as well!
