Students were introduced to the The American Dream and discussed prior knowledge and conceptions or misconceptions about what they believed it was.  A student then presented on the film "12 Angry Men" and explained the historical context and major themes of the film.  We then discussed the differences between the legal system in the U.S. and Portugal.  Another student presented on the cultural artifact of St. Patrick's day as a Holiday (a current event).  The student focused on the American adoption of this holiday, how it is celebrated in the U.S., and how it has spread throughout the world.  Students discussed the holiday, the reasons for its dissemination, and any Portuguese equivalents.
