A short BBC video profile of George Soros posted on Youtube
We used this short video profile on 13/11/2018 as input - particularly for the many students who were not present for the longer listening activity on Soros on Monday 12/11/2018 - for the writing of two paragraphs describing attitudes towards the billionaire philanthropist: one dedicated to the (broadly) 'pro' camp and one dedicated to the (broadly) 'against' camp. You will note that most of the comments in response to this video are negative about Soros, and about the BBC for creating this account of him (the BBC is said to be biased and that Soros must have paid the BBC to produce it). Students took notes whilst listening on the different positions presented, to be used for their two paragraphs. See the 'language' section for the language of attributing points of view. The paragraphs collected from class on Thursday 15th will be posted (anonymously) on moodle in the writing section for everybody to see, with corrections and comments.
