16 High school students mostly 18 or 19 year-old seniors took a written quiz on America. The questions ranged from naming several of the past presidents to details about the population and the physical area of the US. Of the 50 questions, I knew about 45 of them. The top score was 31. Very Impressive. As the graders were evaluating the tests I played American Culture Jeopardy with them. They knew questions about texting, consumer products, and T.V. Afterwards we had a fairly serious conversation about the effects of English on the Polish language. They seemed to appreciate both the positive changes that technology and the influx of English brought along with it as well as the negative effects the combined influences may have on Polish society. Overall the event seemed quite productive for both the participants as well as me.
