Step6. Come to “Project 2”. Ask, “Are festivals in Canada the same as festivals in China?” Let the class discuss the questions. Get them to write down the similarities and differences.

This part is hard for students to understand. Make sure the students clearly understand what they are to do.

Point to the different parts and explain what the students should write.

In the green circle, write the things that families do in China. In the red circle, write the things that families do in China. In the yellow circle, write the things that families do in both countries.

The chart is also called a Venn diagram. In their groups, the students each make a Venn diagram of similarities and differences between family celebrations in China and Canada. They may use heir notes from the previous lesson.
