Viewing schedule for the spring term

Below is your viewing schedule for the next term. For each video, do the following:

1. Watch the video as many times as you need to understand. If necessary, check the words and facts you don't understand. Try not to use the 'subtitles' function if possible!
2. In your notebook, take notes about things you have learned from the video and put down key words and interesting expressions. Do this on your own! Don't copy the text from anywhere or ask anyone for extensive help.
3. Get ready to report on the content of the video in class and to discuss the issues raised in the film.
4. After the lesson in which we discuss the video, answer the question asked by the teacher. Do it on your blog in one paragraph of 80 - 100 words .
