TA #3 Jordan

In class today the students were picking American holidays or activities and then next week they would present them. We took a field trip to the compute lab and the student had a rubric for the presentation and then had to research. While I was was walking around and helping I realized that most Americans drink on these holidays. The students were confused on what to put in their report and what was a good hook. The major holidays were easy to help with but I couldn't help Sung-yee with Valentines Day. Thanksgiving is a difficult holiday to describe, I think I confused Bader when  I tried to explain the history. This was a good class to help describe American culture as well as discover how much the students already know. New Years seemed to be the easiest holiday to present on because most celebrate it.
