Detailed description

This worksheet, ‘National Holidays’ encourages students to brainstorm and explore the connections between Australian national holidays and holidays observed elsewhere in the world. Using the Venn diagram, the students can visualise the similarities and differences, effectively building an understanding of Australia’s place within the global community. It can be effectively used as a whole class, individually, or in groups to prompt discussion before further research or as a follow-up activity. It also allows for equal participation by students of all nationalities.
