Closure Activity:

Day 10: Reflect and Assess (1 hour)

• Students can reflect in an email to their ePal or as a journal entry: Every culture in the world celebrates.

• How are the traditions and practices that surround your favorite holiday different from the holiday that you researched?
  
• How are they similar?
  
• What was the most fascinating or surprising thing that you learned while studying holidays and festivals?

• Students will write a reflection in their journal. Some prompts include:

• How do you feel about your final product?
• What was the hardest part of this project?
• What was the easiest part for you?
• What did you enjoy the most?
• What have you learned about different holidays?
  
• Would you like to do another project using ePals?
