Tired of the same Spanish Christmas Projects and looking for something a little more inclusive? Most of your students are probably already pretty familiar with how we celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, and Valentine's Day in the United States. But have they ever heard of Fiesta de la Candelaria, Constitution Day, Día de Las Velitas, Carnaval, or dozens of other holidays celebrated throughout the Spanish-speaking world from December through February?

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 Spanish-speaking 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!

Includes:

-Notes to teacher with pacing suggestions

-Detailed Project Directions and Easy grading rubric

-21 Spanish Speaking Country cards

-Graphic Organizer

-Presentation Notes

-Materials available in English and Spanish to make this work for all levels!

Perfect for giving yourself a break before Winter Break by letting your students teach each other! This is also a great project for those long, slow winter days that tend to drag in January and February.

Nearly all answers are not automatically generated, but only require a small amount of work to assign points. This is because the aim is to get students writing answers and not to just have multiple choice options.

This educational article, by Real-World Reports, delves into the key crime and justice policies of the 2024 Presidential candidates, offering young learners a well-rounded look at the complex issues shaping this election. It covers a range of viewpoints from candidates such as Joe Biden’s focus on community policing to another candidate's  stance on hate crime legislation. Students will also explore the visions of Marianne Williamson, who advocates for decriminalizing addiction and improving after-school programs, alongside Donald Trump’s criminal justice reforms and Nikki Haley’s emphasis on restoring law and order.

In addition to policy insights, this resource engages students with creative projects like crafting a “Law and Order” badge and building a mini jail out of popsicle sticks. These activities provide an interactive way for students to explore law enforcement and crime prevention while reinforcing the lessons from the reading. The historical evolution of policing, from its early roots to modern practices focused on community trust, is also examined, offering a deeper understanding of how policing has changed over time.

Ideal for fostering critical thinking and civic engagement, this resource encourages thoughtful discussions and helps students grasp the diverse approaches to crime and justice in the U.S. By examining the policies of each candidate, learners gain a better understanding of the challenges and potential solutions related to law enforcement, rehabilitation, and community relations, empowering them to reflect on their role in shaping society.
