Homework for next week (Tuesday, October 21 and Thursday, October 23)
Prepare the reports on Darwin & on Einstein
- listen to these audio reports several times
- highlight the main ideas
- check the transcripts from PBS
- start learning the vocabulary & the idiomatic expressions
- prepare several questions and their answers (around 10 questions on each report): we will use them for class discussions in small groups
- Tuesday group only: write a short summary on Darwin (around 150 words +/- 10%). I will collect them. Skip a line when you write it or if it is typed, use double spacing. There should be no deadly mistakes (capitalization rules, basic grammar mistakes, no contracted forms, no plagiarism).
You can retrieve these audio reports and their transcripts from these links from PBS, there is a video as well (try to watch them):

In case you cannot listen to/download these audio reports, you can email me, I will send you these audio reports by email.
