national holidays are important. With

illustrate what needs to happen when we celebrate these holidays.
Audience – You initial audience is the Mayor. When your plans have been approved by the Mayor,
you will be influencing how everyone in your city celebrates these national
holidays.

planner that always has the important reasons for the party in mind. They have sought you out in order to help
them better celebrate the national holidays in your town. You must make a proposal that celebrates the
holidays, but also commemorates why these holidays are important.

pictures, and pictures from the internet to show your ideas for each of the
eight national holidays that are celebrated in your town. Each holiday celebration will be featured on
