First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong (audiobook)
On July 20, 1969, the world stood still to watch 38-year-old American astronaut Neil A. Armstrong become the first person ever to step on the surface of another heavenly body. Perhaps no words in human history became better known than those few he uttered at that historic moment.
The poems are ordered chronologically according to their first appearance in book form. Thirteen new poems are included in this edition, with Pauline now printed in its entirety. Annotations have been revised throughout to clarify Browning's references and vocabulary. "Criticism" retains the important contextual perspective of the First Edition. The twenty-three essays, nine of which are new, are divided into three sections: "Victorian Views," "Modern Essays in Criticism," and "Interpretations of Poems." A Chronology, Selected Bibliography, and Index of Titles and First Lines are also included.
First Kiss - YouTube video gone viral (JPEG,DOC,Video)
First Kiss - YouTube video gone viral. This is a video lesson based on the video of a social experiment. The concept is similar to Hug me or Talk to me.
A group of strangers is blindfolded and asked to kiss a complete stranger. See yourself what happens as a result of it.
The video is a good icebreaker but could also be used as a stand alone lesson. It provides la big emotional response and facilitates speaking. Real comments from youtube could be used to take the discussion even further.
You are welcome!
I design all the lessons myself and include the DOC file, so feel free to make all the necessary corrections you may have in mind.
