Level 3 Introduction example

This week the students were given their 4 week homework task. Each part is broken down into different weeks. This week the students are expected to complete their introduction and photo page. As a class we started to create our introductions exploring what a level 3 introduction looks like (below). The level 3 introduction needs to answer the following questions.

• What is a celebration?
• Why do families, communities and cultures have celebrations?
• Why is it important for people to celebrate in a range of different ways?
• How do celebrations bring people together?

Introduction

A celebration is a time when your family comes together to celebrate an important event.

Families, communities and cultures come together to celebrate because of their beliefs, for entertainment or to catch up with their family and friends.

It is important for people to celebrate in different ways because it is good to have variety and that way people can celebrate according to their personal beliefs.

Celebrations can bring people together because they are fun and are something a lot of people can celebrate despite any differences they might have.
