Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School Holds World Culture Fair
Students Create Unique Displays to Represent Diverse Cultures
Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School’s Department of World Languages recently hosted a World Culture Fair to celebrate New York State Foreign Language Week. Throughout the day, student volunteers hosted a variety of displays based on the ethnic culture of their choice.
Students were given the freedom to showcase their unique culture in whichever ways they wished, including wearing traditional garb or costumes, preparing a national dish or food, displaying customary items or souvenirs from their country or developing an informative presentation.
The World Culture Fair was a wonderful opportunity for students to gain firsthand knowledge of other cultures through the creativity of their peers. Students attended the fair during their regularly scheduled foreign language classes.
