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.
