The first time- listen to the points Kilbourne makes and develop ideas based on the major points.
The second time you view it take notes - SEE NOTE-TAKING HANDOUT.

Re-watch the video with your first set of notes in front of you. Add to your notes... draw boxes, highlight main points.. use bullet points... jot down important quotes, jot down questions, cluster an idea... etc...  use stars and/or circles. You can organize your notes in any way that you like as long as you CAN UNDERSTAND THEM AND USE THEM (without the video) TO PERFORM TASKS IN A WRITER's WORKSHOP on Thursday. 

Once you have completed the above task for the Jean Kilbourne Video do the same for the "Dove" videos.
