closer through media, television and travel opportunities, students need to learn more about the different lifestyles in different countries, she remarked, and teachers use the world fair concept as a fun and interesting way to teach them The students first spend five weeks researching countries of their choice, using a variety of sources including encyclopedias, an Atlas and other books, and some
