Commercial Poetry
In a stack of papers called Instruction.

I mentioned the VW commercial that uses a Dylan Thomas piece (not a poem, but it’s rather poetic prose) a while back. There are also these Levi’s commercials with some Whitman poetry. I’m not exactly sure what to do with them, but there’s a connection between these commercials... read more
Moments Like These

The Do First for the day is this: How would you define a moment? Or maybe it’s this: Finish the story “The moment was…” Or maybe it’s a (cheesy) quotation: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” But maybe you don’t have a Do First topic at all. Maybe you just show the video and see what the class makes of... read more

Speech class wants to create a documentary. English 1 Support, I still think, will grow through projects such as video. More on both of those projects later because I hope to create some material that anyone can use to get such a thing going in their neck of the woods.
I showed this AFI video to Support for our note-taking session yesterday and will show it to Speech after Spring Break when they... read more
Support: Tomorrow’s Notes
In a stack of papers called Instruction.

- 2009
Tuesdays and Thursdays are now days when I present a little something that students need to take notes on. I make a quiz about once every two weeks based on our growing stash of notes. Tomorrow will see us tackle the topic of how to be assertive. I’m curious how long it will take my students to realize that this video is not at all serious in its depiction, though it may be in terms of its... read more
Punctuation Videos
In a stack of papers called Connections.
- Jan

Videos that move quickly through grammar and punctuation basics with just a slight touch of levity and free of all the drudgery of pretty much any grammar workbook? How did I miss this? The fast pace might be bad for some struggling learners, but it’s video so they can play it back again later if so inclined.

B&N Studio

Why wasn’t I informed that Barnes & Noble started to put together cool videos about books? Given that my English 3 class is all about Why Read? right now, it would be a shame if I didn’t show at least one video.

Process Of Video
In a stack of papers called Instruction.
- Aug

- 2008
My original intent in being at the workshop yesterday and today was simply to help a friend, lend a hand when I could, be there for any support needed. Instead, a video grew. Working through the process in a short amount of time clarified a few things. It helped me see the importance of process from a different angle, (video, as opposed to writing). The same rules apply, the exact same rules. Those are... read more
Periodic Videos

Can’t afford to keep your lab stocked with all the elements? Want to create stories about the elements that your students will remember? The Periodic Table of Videos will surely come in handy. YouTube blocked? No worries, they have a non-YouTube version of the site.

Lit Terms In Modern Media

I’ve been thinking about this page for quite a while, but I really only had two or three terms to post with links. Once I sat down to write this, though, I found a few others (Updated 10.19.08).
This list provides examples of literary terms, primarily in videos and images, though there are a few written texts here for now. Page updates will happen. Hopefully this helps... read more
The Importance Of Clarity
In a stack of papers called Instruction.

Something about an easy message, this video stuck out to me. The rest of The IT Crowd is hilarious and worth watching, from what little I’ve seen, but this piece should be in all the teacher ed schools. Imagine if something simple like 911 (or the even simpler 999 in England, apparently) changed to something difficult:... read more
