Listening Blog-Week of October 27-October 31
Listening Blog directions for CS4:
Each student is required to listen to 5 hours of American audio each week. You may listen to the radio while you drive your car, or you may watch TV at home. You may even go see an American movie at the theatre. You may also go to YouTube.com, Google Video, or anywhere else on the Internet, and find an audio or video file.
Every time you do one listening (one movie, one TV show, one radio program, etc…) you must go to the CS4 blog and write the following information:
§ Title/Name of what you listened to
§ Length of listening
§ Short summary of what you listened to
§ Reaction to listening/opinion of listening
§ A new vocabulary word or phrase that you learned and its meaning
Please see the sample below......
TITLE:
I listened to a TV show called "Survivor."
LENGTH:
1 hour
SUMMARY:
In this episode of Survivor, there were 4 people left on the island. All four people were competing to win the big prize. The people had a big race and a man named Michael won the race. They did many things like playing a game with fire, and making a boat out of wood from trees on the island.
REACTION:
I liked this episode of Survivor because it was interesting and I learned many new words.
NEW WORD/PHRASE:
"On your mark, get set, go." This is a phrase used when people are about to start a race. A person yells it and then when he says "go" everybody must race.
