Iced Tea, Ice Cream Cones, and Other World's Fair Wonders

Description:

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to the phenomenon of World’s Fairs, which were, in many ways, the precursors to the great theme parks of today—Disney World, for example. In the process of exploring the two Fairs, students will assess the evidence and decide which one was the greater World’s Fair.
