In today's lesson, you will familiarize yourself with some useful websites. Please answer all the questions in your QUADERNO. I will be checking them in at the beginning of our next class. This assignment is worth 20 points.
1. Go to Radio Dimensione Suona, click on 100% GRANDI SUCCESSI, then click on Playlist, and choose an Italian song to listen to (scroll down - there are lots of songs to choose from). Task: Write down the name of the song that you listened to (make sure it's an ITALIAN song, and not Spanish or English). Sometimes flashplayer doesn't work, so you'll have to finish this quesiton at t he library, where flashplayer should work on the computers.

2. Next head over to Google Earth. Now type "Venice, Italy" into the search bar. Click on SATELLITE, so you get the satellite view. What is special about this city, from what you can see from the satellite?

3. Watch this short video on Italians vs. Europeans by Bruno Bozzetto. Task: What are three differences between Italians and Europeans. Do Italians always follow the rules?
