 * Researching New Year Celebrations

=Activity=

Today we will review the research that was done so far, and will finish filling in our data collection grids. We will then choose one of the countries we've studied and creating a New Year's Eve celebration advertisement, inviting all to join for the (imaginary) festivities. The advertisement will include the following:
 * A Title "Welcome to the ___________________ New Year Celebration!" (insert country name)
 * The date of the celebration
 * A picture appropriate to the country (a map, an image of a festive food, etc.)
 * A list of foods being served (as appropriate to the celebration)
 * A list of traditional activities to celebrate
 * The names of the hosts (the students in the group)

These flyers will be printed and posted for all to see! Check back - I'll put them on the wiki!

=Assessment=

Students will be assessed on teamwork and inclusion of all of the above requirements on their flyer.
