Hi Everyone,
The History Channel's website includes a lot of interesting, fast-paced videos of 3 to 4 minutes called History of the Holidays.
I've linked the title of this post to the material on Independence Day; you will see the Search bar there if you'd like to peruse other topics.
Even if your students can't understand all of the spoken content, as the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words."
(By the way, some proverbs are really hard to translate into other languages. You've been warned!)

These are great, Clint! It's difficult to make a lesson on holidays really interesting, which is sad because holidays are one of the most interesting things about culture. Thanks for sharing this with us. Now if only I could find these in Spanish.... :P
