THANKSGIVING DAY

Here there are some activities to learn about THANKSGIVING.
Scholastic has a good feature on The First Thanksgiving that provides audio support to the text and is very engaging.

Pilgrim Village is a simple E-Book, also from Scholastic, that provides audio support for the text.
EL Civics has an ESL Thanksgiving Lesson that provides a good overview of the holiday in an accessible way.

What Really Happened At Thanksgiving? is an interactive from Plimoth Village where players become investigative “historians.”

This is a nice listening exercise where students have to pick the words from a drop-down menu while listening to the text (about Thanksgiving) being read. The same site has a series of shorter Thanksgiving listening exercises.

The History Channel has a ton of online videos and other resources on The History of Thanksgiving, plus excerpts from their special presentation on the Crossing of the Mayflower.
