Happy
New Year Project
 Happy New Year
Message from Naren Solanke and his 5th grade students from
Lions Vidyaniketan Washim School in India. |
Every countries/cultures
has their own New Year date(s); they also have their unique way to
celebrate. We would like to share this project
to know different New Year cultures, and make everyone a “Happy
New Year!” 1. For Motivation and warm up: participators should
sent a “Happy New Year!” character file in *.JPG format
with its pronunciation in *.wav format, sample files can be downloaded
and modified. 2. For cultural understanding: Classes can begin
to gather custom and tradition information and share with other
classes
of different countries/cultures. The activities can involve at
least with IT, Geography, History and Culture, Foods, Charity activities,
New Year resolutions (or new wishes) list and even Natural Science
(weather, flowers, animals and ecosystem) 3. For showing love and
care to others: Sharing how people in different countries and cultures
show their love and care to others in New Year time, then take
actions
to show our love and care.
Elementary schools focus
on “what we do”, gather and share
online and/or real-live information on New Year activities. Junior
high or middle schools on “How we do”, focus on one or
two of the New Year activities with pictures and/or videos with detail
text description. Senior high schools on “why we do”, focus
on more details of New Year activities with more description on why
(the meaning) and how (procedure demonstration) people doing those
activities. Web pages publishing are recommended and/or online presentation
to other participators can be arranged in the future. Students will
discuss within classes and forum and take actions that show their love
and care to people, both to participators and poor peoples in their
own area or other countries.
