Video Watch

Watch at least 20 minutes per day of video in English. You can watch clips on thinternet or DVDs. If you watch a 10 minute video twice, that is 20 minutes! If you watch a 5 minute video 4 times, that counts as 20 minutes. I encourage you to experiment with your watching techniques: with subtitles in English, without subtitles, films you have already seen, rewinding, re-watching, turning on the subtitles, turning them off, etc.

Make a note of what you watched and any of your reactions or reflections.
