A New Year Reflections

Students read a short informational text about Chinese New Year customs such as family reunions, red envelopes, and dragon dances, then answer reflective questions comparing these traditions with those from their own culture. The activity encourages cross-cultural understanding, empathy, and writing in complete sentences. An extension challenge lets students design a global celebration combining traditions from multiple cultures.
