DAY ONE
A. Advanced Content Dimension	Students will learn about American and Christmas traditions in our country first. They will make a list of traditions that their families do at their homes. They will watch a PowerPoint Presentation on American Christmas traditions, and the class will discuss these. We will read The Night Before Christmas as a class, and then will make Christmas Ornaments.
B. Process/Product Dimension
C. Issues/Themes Dimension
DAY TWO
A. Advanced Content Dimension	On Tuesday, students will learn about Mexico and their Christmas traditions. They will get in groups of 2-3 and get on the computer and research Mexican traditions. When their research is complete (20 facts) they will turn these facts in. They will create a handprint poinsettia for their project for the day.
B. Process/Product Dimension
C. Issues/Themes Dimension
DAY THREE
A. Advanced Content Dimension	Students will identify Brazil on the map. They will then watch a PowerPoint on Brazil and their Christmas traditions. They will learn why fireworks are such an important part of Brazil’s Christmas traditions and then they will create a firework art project.
B. Process/Product Dimension
C. Issues/Themes Dimension
DAY FOUR
A. Advanced Content Dimension	Students will learn about Liberia. They will understand the significance and discuss how fireworks relate to their culture. They will find the similarities between Brazil, Liberia, and fireworks.
B. Process/Product Dimension
C. Issues/Themes Dimension
DAY FIVE

DAY SEVEN

C. Issues/Themes Dimension
Dimensions Application: The process/product dimension is used throughout my unit. There is direct instruction given by the teacher, and then every day there is an activity that is done to demonstrate and revolve around what the student has learned. Also, issues/themes dimension is used in this unit. This unit is similar to the Parallel Curriculum Model in that the curriculum is organized around the theme of Christmas. The students are able to develop a deep idea and understanding of each country daily. The students understand the system of knowledge by learning the countries and Christmas traditions. Lastly, advanced content dimension meets gifted student needs because students can pick their groups, pick their country to research and what topics they will choose to research, and they work with students in the class to create this part of the unit.
