Discuss the following warm-up questions:
- What are some headlines this week? Why are they important?
- Where do you get your news? Do you follow the news at all? Why or why not?
Watch and discuss:
- Your teacher will open this link and play the show: VOA News 1
- Listen carefully. Your teacher will pause the recording after each news story to discuss the vocabulary and the current events.
- If you have more time, your teacher will open this link (VOA News 2) and choose an additional episode.
- What is the difference between these two programs? Which do you prefer?
