II EELLA, A REMARKABLE DAY.

The II EELLA (Encontro de Estudantes de Lingua e Literatura Anglofonas) took place in Marabá. It was a remarkable day for the students. They all had the chance to present their works at the campus' auditorium.
The morning started with a lecture by professor Isabel. She talked about the use of the internet, digital literacy and ethics as important issues for teachers and students nowadays.

 Prof. Isabel talked about digital literacy.
After that, students had the chance to participate of a workshop: A Interculturalidade nas Crônicas de Narnia e de São Paulo. Joyce Cordeiro, Ana Maria and Julio Cezar were the students who prepared a haunted maze where people could experience the contact to the amazing characters of the literature fables.
At 10:00am, students could watch the movie OLHOS AZUIS, a brazilian movie which talks about prejudice, xenophoby and intercultural issues. The movie was later the theme of a discussion led by teacher Jairo Souza at the auditorium.

In the afternoon, the lecture of professor Dan Baron from England was definitely another remarkable moment of the event. Professor Dan has been living in Marabá for many years and talked to the students about his life, his work and projects in Brazil. The best thing is that everyone had the chance to listen and speak English as well.
Dan Baron talked about cultural literacy in Brazil.
