In this lesson, students explore Easter traditions in Croatia through reading, discussion, vocabulary work, and visual note-taking. Using an informational text about Croatian Easter customs, students identify key information about religious traditions, food, customs, family celebrations, and unique regional practices. They then transform the information into a creative one-pager that combines text, visuals, symbols, and key vocabulary. The activity develops reading comprehension, cultural awareness, creativity, and the ability to summarize information visually. Students learn to present information concisely while using accurate English and visual communication techniques. The lesson is based on the reading text about Croatian Easter traditions and the one-pager instructions provided to students.

Nastavnička priprema

Students work in pairs and brainstorm Easter-related words, traditions, foods, and symbols they know. They share their ideas with the class and compare similarities and differences between their experiences and traditions across Croatia.

Students read the text Easter Traditions in Croatia and highlight important information about religious celebrations, customs, food, family gatherings, and special regional traditions. They identify unfamiliar vocabulary and discuss meanings in pairs before checking with the teacher.

Students reread the text and do additional online search after which they organize information into categories such as Religious Traditions, Traditional Food, Customs and Activities, Family and Community, and Fun Facts. They select the most important information and convert longer explanations into short notes and keywords that could be used in a one-pager.

Students collect 10–15 Easter-related words from the text and create a vocabulary bank. These words will later be written around the border of their one-pager.

Using the provided instructions, a checklist and visual model, students create a one-pager with a title in the centre and 4–6 thematic sections around it. Instead of writing long paragraphs, they use short notes, keywords, arrows, drawings, symbols, and colours to present information visually. Students add Easter vocabulary around the frame and include illustrations that support the content.

tudents display their one-pagers around the classroom. They walk around, observe their classmates’ work, and identify interesting facts, creative designs, and new vocabulary. They discuss similarities and differences among the presentations. Students briefly reflect on what they learned about Croatian Easter traditions and which tradition they found most interesting.
