PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. only-- Welcome to Austria! In this program, students begin their journey in the city of Innsbruck, where they will attend a Palm Sunday procession and see some of Austria's native animals in the zoo. And it wouldn't be a trip to Austria without some downhill skiing in the Alps! Throughout the program, students will learn about some of the cultural traditions, history, climate and politics of Austria, including the importance of music to the national identity. The students will take a road trip to Salzburg and play in the gardens of Mirabell Castle before visiting the home of one of the most famous composers of all time -- Mozart. Part of the Countries Around the World Series. A teacher's guide for the series is included and available online. Title-specific guides are also available online.
