In late April, some areas of Tara High School looked more like an international marketplace during the ninth graders’ GeoJourney Expo. This year, every ninth grader and their World Geography teachers participated in the cross-curriculum event, which highlighted various countries’ cultures and customs.
The overall winner was student Verdell Johnson (pictured) with his display on Turkmenistan. In addition to the display boards, students participating in this semester-long project completed a detailed research booklet, created a copy of their assigned country's flag, made graphs and charts on aspects of their country, explored and prepared recipes from the culture, collected artifacts from the nation and wore the country’s traditional dress |
