Making Food for Culture Day
Students are given the optional opportunity to make the food that they've researched for their country portfolio. On Culture Day, the day that we share the food and other elements that they choose to share, students move around the room to view country portfolios and experience the culture of countries. Elements that can be easily shared in the classroom include:
 * Food
 * Music
 * Sports memorabilia or description of sport/game commonly played
 * Souvenirs that students acquired while visiting
 * Re-creation of cultural practice (example: tea ceremony)
