There's just one listening today.
Pre-listening: Do you play golf? What's it like? Is it good or bad for the environment?
With a partner, listen to the following story:
"Golf Course Dispute" -- from the show Morning Edition, by National Public Radio, Thursday, Nov. 7, 2002.
You can find the story at this link:

Listen with your partner.
Discuss what you've heard.
What is at issue?
Who is on which side of the issue?
Who are the other people involved?
Where is this happening?
There are two development options: What are they?
What will happen next?
How might this get resolved?
What's your opinion? Who's right?
Share with the class.
As homework, listen again and send me an e-mail summarizing and evaluating what you've heard. Tell me which side you agree with, and why?
