Lesson set - Summer Festivals Lesson Set

This set contains five speaking-focused lessons exploring fascinating summer festivals from different cultures: Summer Solstice celebrations, Notting Hill Carnival, La Tomatina, Ivana Kupala, and Burning Man. Through interactive discussions, videos, quizzes, role-plays, creative tasks, and cultural comparisons, students learn about the traditions, history, values, and experiences behind some of the world's most unusual and memorable festivals.

The lessons encourage students to express opinions, compare cultural practices, discuss personal experiences, and explore how communities celebrate identity, creativity, nature, and tradition. Each lesson can be used independently, but together they provide extensive speaking practice while exposing students to a diverse range of global celebrations and perspectives.
