Is there a 4th of July in England?
Of course. They just don't celebrate the US Declaration of Independence that day.
Countries' national days are good times to look for special features in the media about those countries. The celebrations can offer clues about the political cultures that you can ask students to identify.
When are the national days?
- March 1, Wales
- April 1, Iran
- April 23, England
- June 12, Russia
- September 16, Mexico
- October 1, China and Nigeria
- Novermber 30, Scotland
Celebrate and investigate.
Another "celebration," I'd intended to mention was that I'd made 500 entries in this blog. But I missed the occasion. Well, today's entry is number 506.
