Our Cornucopias

Once the students know what Thanksgiving is and how it is celebrated, they were ready to learn about one of its symbols: a cornucopia or horn of plenty. After doing some activities, they have designed their own cornucopia in cooperative groups. And they have also tasted a yummy pumpkin cake! With the help of a sample text, they will make an oral presentation describing their project to the rest of their classmates.

Here we will enjoy the voyage of the Pilgrims and we will see a funny video before doing these activities on the first Thanksgiving dinner:
