Autumn English Board

Covers Halloween and autumn festivals around the world.

Materials for an autumn themed English board, covering Halloween, Diwali, Día de Muertos, Thanksgiving and Guy Fawkes Night.

There are explanations for each of the holidays in English and Japanese (use at your own risk), which have been arranged so that they can be folded over the top of one another (double-sided printing required) - this way the students can first read the explanation in English, before opening the paper to read it in Japanese.

I'm from the UK, so apologies if the explanations for some of the holidays aren't up to scratch - I had to use Wikipedia to fill in the gaps lol.

      Really nice. Any chance of getting the PPT so I can adapt it for my class? Thank you.

      I got feedback from a Japanese teaching assistant, who told me a lot of the Japanese sounds very odd (IE: translated poorly), but it is understandable. The Thanksgiving page is wrong or nearly impossible to understand. I recommend asking your JTE or teachers for verification on the Japanese translations of the holidays.

      Other than that the resource is great!

      @Verzun I relied pretty heavily on Google translate back in the day unfortunately. I've uploaded the .pub files, so you can change the Japanese to suit.
