My favorite song....

Speaking exercise: We're going to devote 1-2 minutes to you playing your favorite song (or a song) for us - tell us why you love the song, and what it means to you. Try to use some of the principles we've been using in class - telling stories, using clear language, speaking in a conversational style. No notecards, just share with us.

Please paste the link to the youtube video or the way to get the song online so we can hear it in class tomorrow.

    P.S. Amanda, good call on "Hit me Baby One More Time", it's a classic.
