U.S. Consulate's American intern Joao de Oliveira (center) with students of the Humboldt school in Wiesbaden
|
November 3+6, 2006 As part of the U.S. Consulate General's The School Outreach Program, intern Joao de Oliveira visited three high schools in Limburg and Wiesbaden on Nov. 3 and 6. He engaged English classes from grades 9 to 12 in discussions of immigration to the United States. Himself a young second-generation immigrant American with a Brazilian father and a Peruvian mother who had met in California as students, Joao caught the students' particular attention with an analysis of the cartoon "The Simpsons" as a useful starting point for discussing issues like ethnicity, religion, gender, and social relations in American society.
