These links will take you to a safe sites to find out more information for our Country Christmas Reports. In addition to the report, I want you to bring something to share from their traditions. For example; If you were doing the U.S, (which none of us are), you could bring Christmas cookies to share. Fill out your report handout, and be ready to present on Friday. When you are selecting a country try to choose one that connects to your family. If you are part French, Italian, English, German, Indian, Japanese etc... choose that country.
To recap:

1. Select a country from the web sites above. I will not allow anyone to choose the United States.
2. Research your country.
3. Fill out the handout on the Country Christmas Report.
Remember, you are reporting on how your selected country celebrates Christmas. You are basically summarizing what you research. Do not just write about what you are bringing to share.
4. Make something the class can eat, or a game to share with the class that is traditional for the country you chose.
5. Be ready to read your report, and share a tradition from your country, be it food or game, on Friday Dec. 16. 
6. Have fun with it.  :)

BONUS: If you are ready prior to Friday, you will recieve 5 bonus points in Social Studies or Language.
