Preparation for study of Japanese events and festivals. Suitable for introducing the topic in preparation for an essay or class discussion. Includes a passage about some main events (New year, summer festivals, snow festival, children's day) with brief description of typical activities followed by questions prompting students to research their chosen festival in detail and learn some key vocabulary. The language and kanji are suitable for A level students, but could be adapted with more furigana for a challenge at the end of GCSE (I've attached the word version so it can be modified to suit students' knowledge). I have a GCSE version which I will upload separately.
