LA Homework 33 due October 31

Name:
LA – Homework Cover #33

First – Research and make an outline about Halloween.

Second – Organize – write a letter from the outline. You will send this letter to an imaginary friend from a faraway place where Halloween is no popular and people do not even know about this celebration.

Then, write a letter (in pen – do not print anything but pictures, if you do not want to draw them yourself).

We all need to share this letter in class. Read it aloud to any adult at home. Train your reading before sharing the letter with others in our Monday classes.

Here are some points to include into your letter (to your imaginary friend) about Halloween:

Write a few sentences about the origins of Halloween;

Tell about the tradition of carving pumpkins. Draw or print out some pictures (attach them to the letter).

Tell how people celebrate Halloween. Give details on how people decorate their houses and yards, how they choose costumes.

Tell how kids do trick-or-treating, and how Halloween was in the past and how parties are organized nowadays.

Imagine that you have a friend who lives in a country where Halloween is not popular, your friend has never heard of Halloween, and you have to write him/her a letter about this holiday and its history.
