June 6th is the official date of the annual Dragon Boat Festival. Do you know the legend of the dragon boat races? One of the most accepted legends is the tragedy of the poet Qu Yuan. Our mini-holiday lesson explains how this Chinese poet inspired the festival over 2000 years ago. Use this FREE recording with the printable English lesson from our Every day is a Holiday section. In the printable lesson, students learn and practice new vocabulary, and take turns being the devil’s advocate. If your students enjoy learning about holidays from around the world, why not add all of our Holiday lessons to your personal library folder on our site? (See a recording of a live demo from a recent teaching conference.) Preview all of ESL-Library’s mini holiday lessons on our site. If you have any suggestions for topics that are not available in our library, please leave a comment.
