Research Graphic Organizer: Hanukkah

Explore the elements of Hanukkah with this research template! Fourth through eighth graders will conduct research about this religious holiday and answer prompts about the history and celebrations of Hanukkah. Learners are also prompted to draw a symbol to represent the holiday, allowing students to synthesize information in a different way. 

As students learn how to conduct research, this organizer will serve as a guide to make sure learners cover the essential facts of the holiday. Recognizing and answering when, why, and how questions can help to guide future research as well. 

Use this graphic organizer on its own or alongside the Reflective Writing Prompt: Hanukkah worksheet for a comprehensive lesson. Or, have students compare and contrast other winter holidays by completing Research Graphic Organizer: Christmas and Research Graphic Organizer: Kwanzaa.
