About the unit plan

Maybe you already know how American holidays like Halloween are celebrated. But have you ever heard about Thanksgiving? For many Americans, Thanksgiving is all about a nice family dinner with a stuffed, roasted turkey and a football game on TV. But there is a nice story behind the tradition.

In this unit, you will learn why Americans have a holiday called Thanksgiving and how they celebrate it. You will listen to stories about Thanksgiving, play word bingo and have a grammar race with nouns. You will also work with storytelling about Thanksgiving, and you will learn how to dance the Turkey Dance. Finally, you will write your own Thanksgiving greeting card.
