🎊 Celebrations & Traditions
In this reading-based lesson, four teenagers describe their favourite celebrations: Aisha (Eid al-Fitr), Tomasz (Polish Wigilia/Christmas Eve), Maya (Diwali), and Callum (Hogmanay/Scottish New Year). Each text naturally models 'will' for offers, promises and spontaneous decisions. Students learn celebration vocabulary, the difference between 'will' (spontaneous) and 'going to' (planned), and cultural awareness. Includes a will-vs-going-to identification game, quiz, fill-in-the-blanks, and a writing task about their own celebration.
