Listening #1: Questions for the Lecture on Culture (due Friday)

Today we listened to a lecture on culture. You took notes and then you were supposed to review your notes with a partner or small group (who don't speak your language!) by trying to recite or recap the lecture in your own words.

Then I asked you to compose 5 questions that you think would be good test questions for this material. Please post your questions as a comment here. If Zoe and Khanh were partners, for example, then Zoe (or Khanh) would post the questions and say that they were from Zoe and Khanh.

I hope my instructions are clear. If not, just do your best!
