At the latest on 15 January essays on Globalisation must be shared with me. Remember to send to Urkund.

Peer response

After watching your news broadcasts each group will give response to another group.

What is the best thing in the broadcast?
What do you learn from it?
Do you miss anything in their broadcast?
Are the journalistic questions what, who, when, where, why and how used?

Each group shares a document with me including your answers. Write the names of the group members and the name of the group you are giving response to. Group 1 is responsible for the response to group 2 and so on. Finally group 6 - response to group 1.
