If you took a short video, you only need to upload it to the Discussion linked to this assignment (read step 4) but make sure you note this on the third page of the report. If you chose the Tuesday Times Roundtable or film options, add appropriate links to the third page of the report. For films, you may link the relevant IMDB page. References/Citations. Include references to course readings/sources in the body of your paper and footnote the sources using the Chicago Manual of Style (Links to an external site.). A bibliography or works cited page is not needed with correctly-formatted footnotes. Step 4: Upload the relevant picture(s), video, link(s) to the Discussion “Global Learning Experiences: Videos, Links, and Photos.”  If you choose the Tuesday Times Roundtable or movie options, just upload the links to these items on the Discussion. An IMDB link works for films.
