We intend to have a fun, Christmas themed session.
Having reviewed the course during session 8 we will take part in a Christmas webquest & questionnaire. We will also partake of some traditional Christmas fayre during our break in a cultural finale to this course.
As a bit of inspiration to get our discussion underway & provide some background into the Christmas festivities we take for granted, please click on the Christmas Webquest website on the right of this blog in the list of useful websites. It contains material developed in a Junior School, but which is relevant to anyone wishing to research the religious & cultural aspects of Christmas.
Some questions to generate debate:
Is the meaning of Christmas still relevant in today's society in the UK? What has changed?
Why do we think differently about religious festivals such as Christmas today?
Who does not celebrate Christmas & why?
Christmas has become a commercial event. Is Christmas important to the economy & trade?
