A simple way to teach it

  1. Start with the before-reading question and vocabulary matching.
  2. Read the article, check comprehension and invite learners to discuss traditions respectfully without assuming everyone observes the celebration.
  3. Use page 3 to check vocabulary and comprehension. Accept reasonable alternative responses to discussion and writing tasks.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
