Body: Earlier this month, Florian Thalhofer, a new-media artist and documentary filmmaker from Berlin, started traveling all over the United States by motorcycle (provided by BMW), while U.S. filmmaker Mark Simon travels throughout Germany by car.

Get in touch with the filmmakers via http://1000stories.com to suggest itineraries and potential interview candidates and to comment on the project.

Title: Songs for a Beginning French Class
Body: An FLTEACH user recently posted the following list and commentary about songs that he uses in a beginning French class: I try to include a song each week in my French 101 class. Not easy to find things that are simple enough for them to follow at that level, getting the gist during the video after some pre-listening preparation to help them understand the vocabulary and the concepts.

Title: Day of the Dead Ideas and Resources
Body: Here are some resources and ideas for Day of the Dead activities: An FLTEACH user suggests going to the Willy Wonka candy site at http://www.wonka.com/wonkafactory/shome.htm?section=dod , where visitors can watch a video about the Day of the Dead and read background information. Visitors can also build a virtual altar, and people in the Los Angeles area can also enter an in-person altar-building contest.

Title: Superior-Level Spanish Resource: Human Rights in Latin America
Body: From http://larcnet.sdsu.edu/tech.php?page=humanrights The Human Rights project focuses on understanding human rights issues in Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico) by examining authentic Spanish language multinational communications and discourse. The main objectives of this project combine two domains of inquiry: regional political studies focused on Latin America and on assessing on-line means to acquire advanced to superior level reading and writing skills through digital reading activities and computer mediated communication (CMC) with other learners. Through the interactive exploration of language materials, learners will establish a point of view that is substantiated by on-line research and documentation. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the meaning of these historical and political events to their own lives, as well as to those of the speakers portrayed in the media. They will formulate questions for interlocutors in other universities and in other countries and articulate informed opinions about current events, perhaps negotiating meaning with native speakers in order to form these opinions. They will engage in critical thinking activities and to learn to judge the veracity and relevance of the point of view of the creators of the various websites offered in the annotated bibliographic references. Visit the project website at http://larc.sdsu.edu/humanrights .
