Let's face it-kids today are very much visual learners. They watch YouTube videos in their free time. I can read a story using voices and emphasis-it can be about dinosaurs or underwear and they still won't be as engaged in my story as they would be if I played a video of it.
Keeping that in mind, here are some videos I use to tie in the Depth and Complexity concepts. I play the video and then we discuss or the kids write about what they noticed. How is this told from another perspective? What is the big idea?
So here are some of my favorite ones to use:
Multiple Perspectives:
A Piece of Chalk-video about the life of boy who gets rid of stress by breakdancing:
How was the story told from his perspective?
How is the perspective of living in a snowglobe different from your perspective?
How did the perspective of the raccoon differ from your perspective?
Videos for Big Idea
Rock, Paper, Scissors Commercial
A Girl and Her Cloud
Fur-ever Friends
