DESCRIPTION:New Year’s Web Quest Activity\nby Teachers Pay Teachers\nMonday\, Jan 1st\nFREE — 6-12th\nNote: This is NOT a Cola City event. \nThose first few days back after winter break\, when sleepy students can barely keep their heads off their desks\, can be challenging to say the least! This freebie is intended to help ease your classes back into their routines\, while providing an opportunity for students to research and find some interesting tidbits about the celebration of New Years. It’s an easy and engaging way to start the new year off right! \n  \nThe lesson will require internet access\, so if you don’t have access to laptops or tablets\, student phones will do the trick! Students can work individually or in pairs or small groups to find the information. You might even have them compete against each other in teams–the first group to answer all the questions correctly wins! An answer key is provided. \nThis is a freebie printable for middle and high school students to celebrate the New Year!  It is part of an optional expanded holiday pack for an extra fee ($4).
