On Wednesday, Feb. 10, 39 German students (level 1 through AP) from Esperanza High School took a field trip to the University of California, Irvine, campus to take part in the second annual German Day. Six different high schools from Southern California attended this informational, fun-filled event.
After checking in and receiving a folder with lots of information, students were greeted and welcomed by UCI German Professor Glenn Levine. Students were then dismissed to their first of two 45-minute sessions on topics of their choice. Over 20 different sessions were offered, with topics ranging from modern German pop music to studying abroad.
Some students choose a scavenger hunt option over the two sessions. During the scavenger hunt, students split up into groups and answered 40 questions in German about things located on the campus. The Esperanza group tied for first place, and were able to choose prizes.
Students then had the opportunity to further explore the campus on their lunch break, and were even able to visit the vendor fair the was taking place that week.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day, and Esperanza students look forward to returning as future students or future participants of German Day.
