= Listening Log =

Each week you will be required to complete your Listening Log for homework. If you choose to use the internet to complete your Listening Log, I have a few website suggestions for you.

Take a look at the following sites. Please email me if you have any other suggestions for video/listening websites!


 * CBC Radio Player
 * http://www.cbc.ca/player/Radio/ is a great resource for Canadian content. If you are interested in the news, in science, or in entertainment, there is something here for you!


 * TED
 * www.ted.com is a wonderful website to view videos. You can search for videos by your interests or simply choose one that is the most popular. You can also turn on the subtitles (in English only, please!) and follow along by reading.


 * YouTube
 * www.youtube.com is one of the most popular video websites in the world. You can search for anything you like, but be warned because there may be some inappropriate videos on there! Overall, it's a wonderful tool to help you with your language learning.


 * Slice Network
 * www.slice.ca is a Canadian television station. On their website you can find some interesting shows that might appeal to you. I especially enjoy "'Til Debt Do Us Part". Find a video by clicking on the "Videos" section on the right-hand side of the page. Then use the navigation bar on the left-hand side of the page to find a show that you will enjoy.


 * History Channel
 * www.history.com is a wonderful source for short (usually under 5 minutes) videos. Find the video clips by clicking on the "Videos" label. This is a great place to go to for videos about the history of some popular Canadian and American holidays.


 * Mercola
 * www.mercola.com is a resource that was given to me by a student. This website focuses on videos about health care. Many videos also have articles about the same topic, so you can watch a video and read more about the topic to gain a wider understanding.


 * CTV
 * www.ctv.ca is a great place to go if you want to watch television on your computer. Click on the "Video" section of the page to watch popular television shows. The episodes are constantly updated, so go back often to watch the newest episode of your favourite show!


 * Biography Channel
 * www.biography.com is a television channel that posts some interesting videos online. Here you can search for a famous celebrity, politician, or historical figure and watch biographies about them!


 * National Geographic Channel
 * www.nationalgeographic.com has been "inspiring people to care for the planet since 1888." Here you can search for videos about the earth and all its inhabitants.


 * Discovery Channel
 * www.discovery.com has some excellent science and technology videos and articles. Many of the videos are short, but you can find some that are great for your listening log!
