------------------
In this highly engaging Saint Patrick's Day Holiday lesson, students complete an included reading assignment and 2 additional activities that clarify the myths behind Saint (St.) Patrick's Day!
*This lesson is geared toward upper elementary (4-5) through middle school (6-8), but can be modified to work with lower and upper grades.
First, students read the "Saint Patrick: What's the Story with this Guy" handout to understand the life and times of Patrick, why he is honored, and how he came to be remembered.
Students then read the "Myths and Reality" page to debunk four major myths behind St. Patrick's Day.
Finally, students complete 2 activities: a close-reading crossword puzzle (answer key is included!) and a "news cast assignment" where students fill the shoes of Saint Patrick and must set the record straight regarding his life and times!
This is a great, short activity to focus on the St. Patrick's Day holiday! Enjoy!
