The Visitors

Sebastian-Münster-Gymnasium has several exchange partner schools in other countries. Right now, a group of 16 students from the partner school in the United States is visiting for two weeks. The students are hosted by the families of various SMG students and travel as a group to see various sights in Germany.

Wednesday, the students visited various English classes and gave presentations about American culture. Two of them visited Frau Mikutta's 11th grade class. These students gave a hands-on presentation on baseball. Their PowerPoint presentation wasn't working, but the American students had brought along a baseball bats and some tennis balls, so the majority of the class time was spent letting the SMG students take turns pitching and batting. Some of the students were amazingly good at it. Too bad baseball isn't a major sport over here! I, by the way, was probably the absolute worst batter in the group. Go figure.

Even the class's teacher, Frau Mikutta, took a turn at batting.
