This flexible project is a great way to expose your students to a wide variety of cultural traditions and practices in a short amount of time with minimal effort on your part!

Each student will pick a francophone country from a set of preprinted cards, select 2 winter holidays to research, and create a slide presentation to teach the rest of the class what they have learned. Optional graphic organizers are perfect for diverse learners and guided notes keep students engaged and learning during presentations!
