Historian

Your job is a historian.  Historians research backgrounds and history.  You 
will go to the links below to find out information about your country's 
holiday tradition. You will be choosing a tradition and comparing and 
contrasting the tradition (telling how it is alike and different).  Use the 
worksheet to take down information you will use in your HyperStudio 
presentation.
