Holiday Origins

In this worksheet, students read short descriptions of two Canadian traditions: Canada Day and the Quebec Winter Carnival. Then they answer reflection questions requiring them to explain historical meaning, cultural importance, and geographic influences. The activity promotes close reading and encourages students to make connections between traditions, climate, and community life. Students practice writing in complete sentences while analyzing how celebrations help preserve cultural identity. The worksheet deepens knowledge of national holidays and supports thoughtful reasoning.
