Hello from Berlin!
I am happy to report that we all made it safely to Berlin with luggage and all. The students are getting along beautifully, even in cose quarters (so far). I think I got lucky with this group. Yesterday we walked around Berlin with Norbert and then by ourselves around Potsdamer Platz. We went to IMK today and observed a Friday presentation, then Adriana and I went to see her school. It is in a great location and she fit right in. She spent one hour in German class today and said she understood everything except one word. :-) She is going to have field trip to a farm on Monday. Today we also visited Lego Land.
We (everyone else except Adriana) will be meeting on Monday afternoon for the students to present their first assignment, and then they are meeting with their German team members to prepare their case for the Friday presentation.
Right now most of the students are on their way to the apartment of anIMK student and they are then going dancing to a club. On Tuesday I will give the first of four lectures on intercultural communication. On Wednesday I will go to Wiesbaden to talk to the students there about FIU.
I have asigned specific dates to all students to post their updates on this blog, so stay tuned...
