Lesson Plan
September Celebration Map
Students will explore and compare global autumn celebrations through a slide presentation, legends reading, and group discussion, then apply their insights to design a Mini Fall Festival Poster celebrating community and the back-to-school spirit.
This lesson builds global awareness and empathy by examining diverse cultural traditions in autumn, strengthening reading comprehension, collaborative discussion skills, and creative expression as students connect seasonal celebrations to their own lives.
