“Thanksgiving
day” is celebrated in United States the last week of November. That day it is
time to remember how indian natives helped to puritans to survive in the New
World. They arrived in Winter and with not enough food, so they were very
thankful for having the help of those people.
In 19th
century, the president of government considered it as oficial party and
normally, after thanksgiving day, it starts the “black friday shopping”, that
it is the first day for Christmas shopping.
To celebrate
“Thanksgiving day”, people usually have a big meal with family consisting on
stuffing turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy and vegetables and pumpkin pie.
In our class
we have studying this celebration having the oportunity of asking our doubts to
Collin, our native american in the school. At the end, we have made turkey
crafts to decorate our boards. In this way, children are involved not just in
the language, but also in the English culture.
