Try to compare the Spring Festival with at least one other Festival to point out that there are similarities.

(keys:CDBDC)
Step 4. Reading
★★Read the text once more and then complete the following chart.
Kwanzaa
date purpose principles activities significance
Between Dec.26th and Jan.1st, the week following Christmas Day. To celebrate history and culture 1 unity
2 self-determination
3 living together
4 working together
5 purpose
6 creativity
7 faith 1 light a candle
2 discuss the principles
3 enjoy a large meal 1 understand who we are
2 remember where we come from
3 share our hopes for a happy future
Ask students to retell the text, make use of the chart above while reading.
Step 5. Post-reading
After reading, discuss the following questions in groups:
1 Why did people create Kwanzaa?
2 Many festivals around the world are celebrated around the same time. Why do we celebrate these festivals at these times?
3 Compare Kwanzaa with the Chinese Spring Festival and Christmas, in which way are they similar and in which way are they different?
4 Look at the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Which one do you think is the most important? Why? Are there any other festivals which have one or more of the same principles?
Key:
1 People created the holiday so African Americans could celebrate their history and culture.
2 Answers will vary but should be based on reasonable thinking. Many holidays celebrate the arrival of a new season or a new harvest.
3 All three reunite families. Christmas and Kwanzaa also bring together friends and members of the community. Spring Festival is tied to the lunar calendar while Christmas and Kwanzaa are fixed dates. Christmas is both a religious and popular celebration while Kwanzaa also honors a specific group of people.
4 As these questions are a matter of opinions, answers will vary. Of course, some of the principles listed in the reading passage must be included in any good response. Kwanzaa is recognized as an American holiday, it is not an official government holiday. Indeed, most Americans do not celebrate it. There are many reasons for this: for one thing, many
Americans, including some African Americans, still know little about it. Ask Ss to discuss some of the other possible reasons in small groups and then discuss this problem as a whole class.
