Guided Response: Provide feedback for your classmates.  Let them know what you see as a strength and what else they can do to enhance their learning activity.  Provide your classmates with at least one additional cultural or linguistic resource that is appropriate for the chosen topic(s).  Help them to use the arts and history of the culture to provide a context in the language activity.  Respond to two of your classmates.
