Clothing

Hello again UFT/Workshop students! Every week we will be posting somethingon the blog. Sometimes we will post games or crossword puzzles.  Other weeks we will post a video clip or a link to a website that we think is important for youto see. For example, this is the link to our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/etauft. You can also find this link on the right side of the blog. We will also describe and post pictures of experiences during U.S. holidays and our seasonal habits. Lastly, we will post short reading activities and writing prompts for you! Simply send your responses  along with your name to our email etauft@gmail.com and we'll correct  them and send them back! If you have any questions feel free to  leave a comment below. Prof. Elisa's 8th period class learned about the Zara store so our first  activity is a crossword puzzle about clothing. You can find more  crossword puzzles at the link below! See you next week!

Welcome!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the UFT Fulbright Program blog: 2012 edition! We're Michol and Amber and we're really excited to start to communicate with all of you outside of classes and workshops. Most of you probably know us by now but for those of you who don't, we're going to tell you a little bit about ourselves and what we're doing in the first couple of posts. Our introduction PowerPoint presentations will be here for you as well. 

Amber


Whenever I meet someone they ask the same two questions. Since you have my basic info (information) and interests below, I thought I'd answer them and one of my own.

Q (Question): Are you liking Araguaina/Brazil?
A (Answer): Yes, very much. Brazilians are genuinely good people that will share whatever they have.  I love  the food (specifically anything made with mandioca). It's hot, though.

Q: How'd you end up in Araguaina?
A: Michol and I received our placements from Fulbright. I'm learning a lot here everyday and I know that this is where I was meant to be.

Q: What do you hope to accomplish at UFT?
A: It is my goal that all our students in the Letras department be able to answer questions in class without shame or embarrassment. It is my hope that with this confidence they can volunteer responses as well.
