What is a World’s Fair? A world's fair, world fair, world exposition, or universal exposition (sometimes expo or Expo for short) is a large international exhibition designed to showcase achievements of nations. These exhibitions vary in character and are held in different parts of the world. World's fairs originated in the French tradition of national exhibitions, a tradition that culminated with the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 held in Paris. This fair was followed by other national exhibitions in continental Europe and the United Kingdom. The best-known 'first World Expo' was held in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, United Kingdom, in 1851, under the title "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations". The Great Exhibition, as it is often called, The most recent international exhibition, Expo 2017, was held in Astana, Kazakhstan.

History of the Fairs The first era could be called the era of "industrialization" and covered, roughly, the period from 1800 to 1938. In these days, world expositions were especially focused on trade, and were famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. World expositions were the platforms where the state-of-the-art in science and technology from around the world were brought together. The fairs encouraged effective intercultural communication for the exchange of innovation.

Learning Goal: Students will write an explanatory essay explaining a problem they found that is keeping Humans/Earth from being Healthy. 1 2 3 4 Did not complete explanatory text. The explanatory text examines a topic and conveys ideas and information clearly. It may be missing some of the following: Introduces a topic clearly. Develops the topic with facts. Uses precise language and domain-specific vocabulary. Provides a concluding statement or section related to the information or explanation presented.
