Ms. Dunford’s and Ms. White’s A1, A2, B5, B7, and B8 classes assembled their own World Fair. The students’ objective was to pick a post-classical merchant city and create a display that focused on items like trade products, inventions, and unique cultural characteristics. The students were to observe the cities and focus on their imports and exports, as well as the cities’ influence on language, art, literature, religion, and culture.
