Comparación cultural de la Navidad en países hispanos y los Estados Unidos
Compare Christmas in Hispanic countries and the United States. As a group, create a chart. Title the
left side “Países hispanos” and the right side “Los Estados Unidos”. For each side tell:




Who gives presents to the children
When they receive presents
3 things children have to do in each place
3 more details you know about the celebrations in each place. Are there other special days or
holidays around the same time? What do families do together?
Each group should have 8 sentences per side of the chart, which means each person should write at
least one if not two of the sentences. You are welcome to collaborate, but one person should be
responsible for each sentence. (Write your name by the sentences you compose).
Use comparing and contrasting vocabulary like you learned in the last project
Draft the sentences on 1 sheet of notebook paper for me to read by the end of class. Write the names
of all people in your group on the page.
