Unit 4 - Global Celebrations

In this unit, students notice that every family and every culture carries traditions worth sharing: food, celebrations, languages, and stories. They choose a tradition to explore, gather information from home, and practice listening and responding kindly as classmates share their own traditions.

As students work toward the culminating performance task, they plan and build a Global Celebrations page that helps classmates understand and celebrate what makes their family or a culture special. Students strengthen their page with peer feedback and contribute it to a shared class collection, a book, wall, or slideshow that belongs to the whole community.
