During the final Speaking/Intercultural exchange class, we
presented the tri-fold posters we had been working on the previous week in the
conference room. Alycia, Johanna, and I were all very pleased with our board –
it was very neat, and the pictures looked very professional.
Ramin split the class in half based on where we set up our
boards. For the first half of the class, half the class would rotate through
the boards, and groups would have to explain the cultural differences in the
topics they focused on. For the second half of the class, we swapped. My group
was in the second half, so we got to ask around at the boards first.
Because of the placement of the table, the conference room
got a bit crowded while we were presenting. A few times, we had to go all the
way around the table just to get to see a board because of the number of people
on that side of the room.
The presentation aspect itself was very fun. We got to model
different greetings for everyone. I think one of the points we had to stress
was that the “kiss” on the cheek that is common in Brazil and Venezuela is not
an actual contact kiss, and the cheeks do not touch. It’s more of just an air
kiss on the side of the head.
Alycia, Johanna and I took some pictures at the end to
preserve our fun times together.
