INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

You're going to write about Halloween Holiday.

Your assignment is to gather detailed information about this holiday and to present it to

the rest of the class.

TASK

In five groups of 4 students, you are to work together to research your topic. You must use at
least four different sources to find information.

Do not just copy the words from the website, but write the information using your own words. You will need to write down the websites you use for reference in your final project.

PLAGIARIZING IN COMPLETELY ILLEGAL!

Each group will write about one of the following topics:

1) Introduce Halloween Holiday and describe the history of it ( what country it comes from, how it came about, etc.)

2) Describe some common customs of the holiday, such as typical food eaten, the type of dress worn, etc.

3) Describe any other special activities that are done during this holiday (celebrations, music,
etc.)

4) Tell why this holiday is important and how it is celebrated differently in modern times than
in the past. Also, talk about which countries celebrate this holiday today.

5) Look for some typical Halloween recipes on the web and cook some of them to the rest of the class.

It's necessary to make a POSTER or do a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION with your information.

You will use this visual aid when you present your project to the class. During the presentation
everybody must talk. You can include video clips and music if you wish to do so. Be creative!

If you do a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, you must make a poster as well.

You need to hand in a paper with all the information gathered and the webpages used.

Everybody will make a Halloween mask to wear the final day.

GOOD LUCK, WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE FUN!
