The Fair categories have grown over the years. We started out with just three categories (Spoken Language, Language with Song and Dance, and Poster Art on a Language Theme). We now have nine categories, and we are growing.
Poetry Writing and Performance is a new category for 2012!
The categories are designed to practice and display spoken language skills and literacy skills. We try to make sure there is a category for every student, at every language learning level. We hope that all students, whether they can come to the Fair or not, will enjoy participating in the Fair in at least one category.
