This comprehension is all about Chinese New Year and its customs and traditions. It is great for research as well as for English comprehension lessons. It is differentiated four ways: 1. Core: Retrieval questions as well as some higher order thinking questions. 2. Extended: Higher order thinking questions, some retrieval and some focus on vocabulary. 3. Nurture: Retrieval with multiple choice. 4. SEN/EAL: More basic comprehension, based on vocabulary mainly (eg. drawing the animals of the zodiac and the customs / traditions). I would recommend it for higher year 2 to year 4. Word file as well as PDF file to download. To teach it and make it a bit more fun introduce Chinese New Year with this song: http://www.nancymusic.com/Gunghayplay.htm

A presentation about Divali/Diwali with lots of photographs of the celebrations from the London temple in Neasden. Nice resource when talking about customs.
