Holidays Around the World Informational Writing Research Reports Celebrations

Are your students compiling a Holidays Around the World Project? Why not have them write informational research reports on 11 holidays around the world celebrations.

Items Included (For Each Celebration Pack)

• Blackline flipbook templates
• Colored flipbook templates
• Editable Flipbook templates (history, food, custom and traditions)
• Self-editing checklist
• Peer-editing checklist
• Teacher Marking Rubric: 3 options
• Writing sheets x 2
• Display Banners (2-3 options)

Parts of the Flipbook

• Cover Page (11-30 options): featuring graphics (not editable)
• History and Origin
• Festive Food: food/candy specifically associated with the celebration
• Custom and Tradition: ways of celebrating and interesting facts

Have students refer to books, websites, and videos to record information on

the specific celebration.

Editable Templates (2 – 4)

Templates 2-4 of the flipbook are EDITABLE. Simply, type inside text to edit

content and save as a PDF file.

The flipbook scaffolds the research process with guiding prompts. This could also serve as the first draft where students use the self-editing and peer-editing checklists to edit. Finally have students publish on given writing sheets or type out content from draft observing corrections (optional).

Flipbook Assembly

You can choose either of the three options.

• Print out the templates in blackline. Cut around each template and assemble from smallest template to largest template. Have students color in cover page. Staple at top tab for flipbook or glue descending order in notebook.

• Print out the templates on cardstock (different colors). Cut around each template and assemble. Attach at top.

• Print out the colored templates and assemble in descending order.

Preparation

• For grades 2-3, bundle up to 6 sheets together after sorting, align them perfectly and cut.

• For grades 4-6, students are old enough to cut and compile flipbooks on their own. I have my students compile all sections of the flipbook prior to research and writing.

Display

After completion, display students’ flipbooks under the Display Banner. These flipbooks are sure to make an interesting bulletin board display.
