1. Imagine that you are asked to explain the history of Thanksgiving to your entire family on Thanksgiving Day. Write as many details and facts that you can to help with presenting your imaginary speech on Thursday.

2. What are your Thanksgiving break traditions? Write out an itinerary for your holiday traditions.

I would tell them what made thanksgiving and how it was brought together and why we stand together as a family and allot more than why is their a turkey not a chicken or a other thing or animal i would tell them that George Washington was the one that made everything wright and that their was no pumpkin pie and their was no smashed potatoes when they where their.

Our holiday traditions are that we meat together and we have fun get along and we do allot of things not just sit their and eat we play games and eat start to play with my friends and we go out to the store and we start to buy things for allot of the people that come and we throw a little bit of a party to all of my friends and family and i get to call my dad to tell him how everything is going on thier and how everybody is doing.

My Thanksgiving is always fun. Today i'm going to my grandmas house, and then I am going to go to my dads tomorrow on Wednesday. I am going to stay the night, and then i'm going to go to 3 places on Thanksgiving. I will be smashing food on Thanksgiving , and I love it so much Then on Friday i'm just going to relax and try to get my cousin and have Felonie over. Saturday i'm probably going to do something, or just hang out with Felonie and my cousin. Sunday i'm going home in the evening. That will be my whole Thanksgiving break.

My Thanksgiving Explanation of history is that the Pilgrims celebrated this day because when there were wars, Abraham Lincoln wanted Thanksgiving to be on the last Thursday in November.

I am thankful for my friends and family, and the food on my plate. I am glade to be living here today and I really love having a life. Thank you god for everything, and I am sorry for all of my mistakes. I hope everyone will have fun on Thanksgiving. I am so happy to have things that other people don't have.

I would tell them that pilgrims made their own little government and made their homes and then their was an indian that actually lived their and his name was Squanto he helped them out during the winter and he knew english from when you was in England and had to learn English. Then the Pilgrims and Squanto made a day of thanks and said at a feast about what they were thankful for.

My traditions are I go eat with my mom's part of the family then I go eat with my dad's side my dad's side of the family play's outside and play games and with my mom's side of the family we usually eat out at golden corral or eat at my grandma's house and we eat then we eat brownies and pumpkin pie and ice cream. And we tell what we are thankful for.

But at my dad's we play games and we eat turkey and we tell what we are thankful for and watch thanksgiving movies. Then we go to my great grandma's and we eat and we talk about what we are thankful for then we talk about how are week has went and then we go black friday shopping.

My thanksgiving will be very long because first we have to start to go to my dads house to help him cook and then I have to go to my grandmas house to help her go to the store and shop for the goods she is making alot of things for thanksgiving. Then after we get from the store we have to go to my moms house to help her cook and go see my grandpa to see if he is coming over for thanksgiving. After everybody shows up we will all go on and do what kids do every year. We run around and get in the way of all of the adults. After a couple of hours the food will be done we will all say prayers and thank the food and then we eat all the food up and then take a nap.
