Omani Propaganda -- 2nd date and Youtube Playlists

I have been exploring using Youtube playlists for resources for The Turtle of Oman project. In case you were wondering -- there is a lot of Oman Propaganda out there.

  Here is good one (in terms of propaganda, not one that I would use -- other than as an example of propaganda). Watch a little and then skip to about 2:45 -- you have to watch the transition.

I have found some decent clips and have started two playlists -- one on Oman and one on Turtles.   I think the topic makes it particularly time consuming as it appears that the videos are all government controlled or tourist videos.  I found one short National Geographic one.

I would use these playlists as resources for students when working on projects connected to the book and I think also to introduce Oman visually to the students.
