TeachersFirst's Victorian Christmas
Plan a Victorian Christmas for your class, beginning with this collection of resources. Take a multidisciplinary approach to include decorative arts, food, literature, and more. Assign different student groups to organize and share various aspects of the holidays from another place and time. This list of reviewed resources will get you started. You might even want to create a Victorian Christmas wiki as a virtual experience to which you can "invite" others. Learn more about wikis in TeachersFirst's Wiki Walk-Through.
