These worksheet templates are perfect for exploring Diwali with your upper years students.

Choose one of the three differentiated question sheets and have students research the answers. You can use books and magazines, allow students to independently research online, or ask primary sources such as people in the community who celebrate Diwali.

Once completed, have students swap sheets and compare their answers. Were any of their responses different? Was it due to the source the information was obtained from? Prompt students to discuss reliable research sources and the importance of fact checking!
