AKEELAH AND THE BEE
The whole morning in English!.
The day started with an exchange of ideas about the culture in United States high schools. Afterwards we watched “Akeelah and the Bee”, an English spoken movie. The movie promoted a discussion about the necessary effort to achieve a goal and/or dream. It was a very nice and motivating experience for everyone.
