When in another nation, it helps to look as the natives look.
POTTSTOWN PA – Pottsgrove Middle School students went around the world in just one day during eighth graders’ World Showcase presentations Wednesday (May 27, 2009) in the school’s gym, 1351 N. Hanover St.
“The students used this activity as a final assessment to all they learned throughout the year” in geography, social studies and related courses, school Principal William Ziegler said by e-mail. Students were tasked with selecting a country, and then were required during the showcase “to lead a persuasive presentation, convincing their fellow students to visit that country,” Ziegler said.
The school’s World Showcase is modeled on the original exhibits found in EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow theme park at Disney World in Florida.
No cultural experience is complete without music.
Besides being packed with students and their displays, the gym also received a steady stream of parents and other visitors. The event was free and open to the public.
