Northstar Listening Speaking Teachers Manual With Unit Achievement Tests

The NorthStar video program includes ten engaging video segments, including segments from ABC News, featuring topics correlated to the themes in the NorthStar 4 listening and speaking, and reading and writing, student books. Each video segment is from 2 to 5 minutes long and incorporates key vocabulary from the student books. The DVD guide contains unit-by-unit video scripts, as well as vocabulary for comprehension and background notes to enhance the accessibility and enjoyment of the video material. Each of the ten video segments has an optional corresponding video activity that is designed for students to use in class before, during, and after viewing the video. The activities can be downloaded from the NorthStar companion website.
