Thanksgiving+PBL

Welcome to our Thanksgiving PBL!

Recently a committee was formed to look at all the holidays that we as Americans celebtrate. They are thinking about doing away with Thanksgiving, because some people feel that it is just an old holiday that is not important. They think we have too many days off from school and work anyway.

A long time ago, a holiday was started called Thanksgiving. We celebrate it every year in November. It's a fun time to eat a lot of food and be with our families. But, do you know why this holiday was started? Why do we still celebrate it today? Is it a holiday we no longer need to celebrate or is it an important one that we need to keep?
 * Your #|JOB:**
 * How can you as students in the year 2012, convince this committee that Thanksgiving was started for an important reason and should continue to be celebrated each year?**

Before you can convince the committee, you will need to do some research about the the first Thanksgiving. After you do your research, you will need to create a presentation for the committee that will convince them that this is an important holiday for our country to keep.
