Surprising Laws and Customs: Practice with "used to be" and "still" / "anymore"
Students practice using "it used to be..." while reading some surprising rules/laws aloud. Other students practice using "still" and "anymore" by guessing if the rules/laws are still true or not true anymore. To the best of my knowledge all the information was at one time true.

Job Benefits Survey
I�m not sure what categories to choose for this! It is a list of common job benefits to be used in partner interviews. Very basic, but it has started some interesting discussions for me about what is available, what is common, and the different values that students place on paid sick leave or family coverage for dental care, etc.

We had a great discussion; hope someone else will find this interesting too.
