Apart from the oral presentation, you must work on an original miniature, mural... to show to your classmates that exemplifies the information you say in your oral presentation. The more creative this work is, the better.

Thanksgiving oral presentation

Thanksgiving is one of the most popular celebrations in the United States of America. It is lively and enjoyable for Americans. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving too. Thus, you are going to investigate and prepare oral presentations about this unique feast.

You will be divided into groups of three or four students. Each group is going to work on a particularity of this holiday. These are the themes you have to research about:
