Research Graphic Organizer: Kwanzaa

Discover the meaning and celebration of Kwanzaa with this research worksheet! Learners will use five different prompts to guide their research about the cultural holiday. Students are prompted to draw a symbol of Kwanzaa and answer when, why, and how the holiday is celebrated.

Tailored for fourth through eighth graders, this template will guide students’ research efforts as they aim to answer key questions about Kwanzaa. This framework can be useful as learners begin conducting research and determine what questions need to be asked.

This graphic organizer can be used on its own or in tandem with the Reflective Writing Prompt: Kwanzaa worksheet for a complete holiday lesson. For additional research, have students fill out Research Graphic Organizer: Christmas and Research Graphic Organizer: Hanukkah, then compare and contrast each holiday.
