Thanksgiving in Seville

Since Thanksgiving isn't a holiday in Spain, it was business as usual for us. We spent the day in the high schools teaching about this important American holiday. The teens want to know everything about American culture. I'm always amazed at the fact that they know more about us than we do about them. (Thanks to tv and movies, what they know is often very distorted!)
This is one of the groups proudly showing off their Thanksgiving turkey. We had them trace their hands and their feet to make this cute little guy and they had to write on the "feathers" what they were thankful for. They enjoyed it far more than a high school kid in American would have! I don't think they get to do crafts at school very often.
