  Have fun and learn!! Tales of travels, food, dance, art. In this class, we will study many parts of the world that most Americans know little about and often cannot locate on a map. Students will learn the names of all of the countries in the world; they will glean a general understanding of the cultures, politics, religions, music and art from around the world. We will do art projects related to our area of study and bring in current events to have a greater understanding of the issues both politically and environmentally. We will explore how these affect us in a very global, interdependent world.
