Instructional Ideas
- Use the video in a reading comprehension lesson or to complete a lesson about transition words when writing
- Provide additional examples of each writing structure, including work from previous assignments in the school year
Classroom Considerations
- The video is a little long for one sitting; consider breaking it up throughout a class and focusing on one part at a time
- The passages are a little elevated for elementary readers but would work for middle schoolers
- The fifth in a ten-video series about reading comprehension
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Connects several writing structures and concepts in one video, making it a good addition to both reading and writing units
Cons
