Comparing Celebratiobns

My reflection

We have been learning to compare and contrast different celebrations. My group researched information about Chinese new year. Something i found interesting was what kind of food they eat. Next we worked with another group and used a Venn diagram to compare our celebrations. Things that were the same were Eid celebrates too. My next step is to put more detail and information in the Venn diagram.
