Introduction of New Material:
15 minutes Teacher will hone in on the two countries of interest: the Philippines and United States. The teacher will then introduce the topics of geography, religion, history and the economy. Starting with the US, the teacher will facilitate what we know of each topic with respect to the US. Then the teacher will facilitate what we know of the Philippines (showing a map may be of aid). This will provide a spring board for what makes the countries different and perhaps what is similar based upon their Christmas traditions.

draft and will peer edit each other’s essay using the provided rubric. Each student must have their essays evaluated by at least two other students and have the essays and rubrics signed off by the teacher. Lesson Assessment: Once students have had an opportunity to practice independently, how will they attempt to demonstrate mastery of the knowledge/skills required of the objective? After the draft process, students will submit a five paragraph persuasive essay citing in-class research on whether or not the United States and Philippines Christmas traditions were mutually influenced. Essays will be assessed according to the attached rubric.
Closing:
5 minutes Students share one factor and its direct influence on the Christmas tradition. Teacher can reiterate the broad significance of each factor to Christmas (i.e. “Each country has a significant Christian/Catholic population, therefore Christmas is an important national holiday.”)
