First, introduce the topic to the group and discuss the questions listed under Before viewing. Next, watch the DVD segment together. Finally, discuss the questions listed under After viewing. If someone has a question that you cannot answer, direct him or her to or to any of the recommended resources that are listed at the end of each video segment. 3
