Wow - you've been busy AND helpful here. I like a lot of these motions while some give me a headache before I can begin to even think about them (the ones at the top).
답글삭제I perused what you've posted and I'm going to see if I can post that video on my blog. It's very hard to find GOOD debates on GOOD video, so that will be helpful to show minjok students during summer session.
Keep up the good work and keep posting anything and everything you think is relevant. Might as well have a place to share stuff you've spent time on, and it gives your work a second a life to some degree.
See you in class.
