New Year Celebration Comparison

New Year Celebrations Comparison Diagram

One way to learn more about the people of the world is to explore traditions.

Compare your country's or culture's New Year(s) celebrations with another culture by constructing a diagram like the one on the right.

You may use a variety of resources including primary sources.

Consider a diagram that compares butterflies and moths. Note the structure. All the similarities are listed in the center of the chart. The differences are listed in columns on each side.

Gather the facts on scrap paper, a tablet, a notebook, a Google notebook, in a text doc. (txt) or word processing document(s).
These web resources will be helpful in finding facts about New Year celebrations of other cultures.

New Year Traditions / New Year's Day / Multicultural Calendar

Chinese New Year / Korean New Year / Japanese New Year / Pakistani New Year

Make the diagram in a Draw program using the rounded rectangle, line, and text tools.

Add at least 12 facts total in the columns.

Center the text frames in each rounded rectangle. Center the 4 titles. Use 1pt or 2pt weight settings for the lines.

Double chek your speling and keyboardign. ;-)

Coloring rules: Use pale background colorings in the rectangles. Remember that your audience must be able to read the information.
When you use yellow colored text on a white background - no one can read it.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors,
and let each new year find you a better man. ~Benjamin Franklin
