Thanksgiving and Its Significance

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. It originated as a harvest festival and has evolved into a holiday centered around expressing gratitude. Families and friends gather for a festive meal, featuring dishes such as roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie.

The holiday originated from the Pilgrims' first successful harvest in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1621. They celebrated and shared the bounty with the Wampanoag Native Americans, who had helped them survive in their new environment. Thanksgiving serves as a reminder of the importance of harmony, collaboration, and thankfulness.

Wayne Clark, Chicago Dual Language Immersion Program

Easily readable, accessible for a range of ages and learning abilities, from pre-school through primary and secondary school level and even sixth form beginners…love the availability of UK and US English editions

Cambridge Bilingual Books…are perfect bilingual texts for my high school Italian class.  Texts are not side by side, which encourages students to focus on the Italian text rather than just ‘checking up’ on the English translation.  My students enjoy the quiz questions and I find that they are a great way to strengthen oral skills.
