Students gave presentations on two different cultural artifacts today.  The first presentation had to deal with the film, The Pursuit of Happyness.  The film's story and message was examined and the presenter showed how the film represents the idea of the American Dream.  The presenter then discussed the job interview and internship process in the U.S. and made comparisons with the process in Portugal. Discussion ensued on student experience with job interviews and seeing that many students would be graduating and had little to no experience with job interviews or applying for jobs we decided our final lessons would be a workshop on CVs, cover letters, and job interviews. The next presentation was on a website cultural artifact, "Non-Toxic Dragon Age Confessions." The presentations provided an introduction to the cultural community of gamers in the U.S. and Portugal, improving our English through gaming and online interactions, and the use of this website to connect with people the world over to improve our English skills as well.
