Today was another busy day. I went through a PowerPoint presentation called "Challenges and Opportunities of Globalization" that covers material from Chapter 4 and 5. I have sent this PowerPoint presentation to your e-mail accounts, so please check your e-mail. We watched "Bend It Like Beckham" and completed a film study that is due tomorrow.
