Examples of my Work

Here are a couple of examples of work I have completed and submitted in my Culture and Literature Courses. 

Presentation on Argentina

This assignment was meant as an exploration activity into a different country. My group and I decided to explore the country of Argentina because at that point I knew I would be studying abroad there. For this assignment my group and I explored the the countries statistics and culturally significant differences.

Lead Generation

This assignment's reason was two-fold. The first was to connect us to recent events abroad in a Latin American country, and the second reason was to connect the current events to an important health topic being discussed in the class. My groups presentation focused on the new economic plan proposed by Colombia's president and how it affected the country's healthcare system.
