| Abstract | In this article, the author describes how teachers, students, and other community members collaborated in the planning and preparation of World Bazaar, a project aimed to immerse elementary students into modern and ancient cultures through reading, writing, researching, using maps, and seeing videos. On the day of the World Bazaar, the courtyard of Oak Tree Elementary was transformed into a bustling marketplace where craft items representing cultures from around the world were being sold. Music from various parts of the African continent could be heard, and smells of sweets and spices filled the air. People from the community enthusiastically commented about the excitement, district central office staff expressed amazement at the learning they could see taking place, and family members almost outnumbered the student sellers. The entire school felt like it had traveled around the world. Students discussed the World Bazaar for weeks after the event. Based on the discussions, the students decided they had learned a great deal about the cultures studied, world geography, economic principles, teamwork, and, above all, the importance of collaboration. By the end of the project, every student felt successful and had developed a bond with business partners based on collaboration. (Contains 1 table and 2 notes.) (ERIC). |
