Independent Study 4

                    Our phrase of the week is, "brainstorming session." This phrase describes anytime where we meet to try and come up with new ideas. For example, "My wife and I need t have a brainstorming session to determine when I can go the dentist."

                      This week's reading is about the tried and true SWOT analysis. Our listening material includes a scene from the Wolf of Wallstreet. We will discuss the theme, "Sell me this pen." The video clip includes some vulgar language, please be warned. I have taken this week's vocabulary words from the document that I have included with the listening material.  Please be prepared to sell a pen in class. 

Vocabulary
