Culture through English 2B: Fall semester presentation project supporting notes & images・後期プレゼンテーションの附記、イメージ

Hello!

How are you? Here are some supporting notes (附記) for your final presentation projects. 

Look at the picture above. We read about this in our textbook - the famous La Tomatina festival in Spain. 

Starting research ideas
The pictures below show some famous festivals and celebrations around the world. Your group can choose one (1) of these - but please make sure that you have a different festival or celebration from the other groups! 

Do not only look at these pictures. Find other celebrations around the world to choose from. These are only starting ideas. 

For whichever festival or celebration you choose, please show this in your presentation:

• Where exactly the events are located in the country
• What kinds of things people can do there
• What kind of special food or drink might be there (if there is any)
• When these events are held
• What the history of the event is - when it started, who started it, and reasons why 
• How to get to the location all the way from Japan (by air, then train, air, or bus) 

Burning Man, U.S. 

Rio Carnaval, Brazil

Tet festival, Vietnam

Oktoberfest, Germany

Canadian National Exhibition, Canada

Holi, India

Once again - you can use these ideas, but please search out other festivals and celebrations as well.

Have fun!
