Homework for Monday, October 21

Watch the TWO videos for your group.  Take notes and prepare 5 discussion questions.  You will be graded on both your notes AND your discussion. 

*The Crash Course videos have Closed Captions.  To  help your listening and note-taking, listen once with the captions OFF and take notes.  If you want, you may listen again with the captions on.  Just remember, this is to help you improve your skills, not give me work to do checking your notes!
