In the Classroom
Introduce your students to Kwanzaa by taking the quiz to see how much they know about Kwanzaa. rnThen in pairs or small groups, have students research the terms. As students research, substitute paper and pen journals by asking younger students to create a blog using a tool like Penzu, <a href="/single.cfm?id=11465">reviewed here</a>, to share what they are learning with fellow students. A great blogging tool for older students is Telegra.ph, <a href="/single.cfm?id=17846">reviewed here</a>. With Telegra.ph have students click on an icon to upload related images, add YouTube or Vimeo, or Twitter links. Engage older students, by having them create a poster about Kwanzaa using a tool like DesignCap, <a href="/single.cfm?id=18206">reviewed here</a>, and then upload the poster to their blog about the terms and what they’ve learned about this December holiday.
