I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Nelson Mandela

cartoons, TV and videogames

Today also presented felipe who talked about cartoons, TV and Videogames.
He gave some examples like Pokemon that means "pocket monsters", through this Japanese cartoons, is possible to recognize some hidden words in the name of the characters like "Ekans" = Snake, or "Arboc" = Cobra. The other way to understand and learn new words in English is through video games, according to what Felipe said, people is more exposed to use English through video games because usually, video games are played in its original language (English).
This presentation was very interesting and helpful as well, because we can use this information in our lessons and theach the students through authentic material.
