Great Videos for teaching English by Leah Ungar https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy These are some short videos I've used to for discussions and classroom work. en-us 2019-11-12 20:35:56 UTC 2026-01-17 18:11:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/430525523/c2c75c766767f52126ea7e23723bc2fb/watching_movie.jpg My Shoes leahun https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/410262618 This video is appropriate for high school students and gives a glimpse into jealousy and being grateful for what you have...  We discussed the characters, the significance of the location, the storyline and the message...

We listed the characters and location, and discussed the message of the video. We also discussed the main character's initial reaction to "the present" and why it changed. A great video for weak students who have a hard time learning. leahun https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/410271593 "The Present"]]> 2019-11-12 21:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/410271593 Partly Cloudy leahun https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/410291237 I haven't used this video yet.  I'd love input.  What do you think the message is?  Are there multiple messages?]]> 2019-11-12 22:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/410291237 I Can Be... Yaakov Shweki clip leahun https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/444310090 This song has been used extensively in grade school and could easily be used for lower proficiency students in Junior High. It's good for modals, for comparitives and just to learn vocabulary. But don't forget about the class discussion. This clip has a very special message and it's incredibly moving. If you've used it - please add a comment about what you did with it.]]> 2020-02-12 13:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/444310090 Appreciation leahun https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/444323449 This is great for discussing judging others favorably and showing appreciation.  Very easy vocabulary (almost none actually).  Works well if you're teaching about food and restaurants... ]]> 2020-02-12 14:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/444323449 "Hair Love" leahun https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/444329499 A short video with a special message.  You may want to make sure that none of the students have family members who are undergoing chemotherapy before showing this.    Works well with girls' classes - I'm sure a lot of them can relate.
Great for discussion about overcoming obstacles, incentives, and caring.  As with all of the videos, it's good to list the characters (in this case there are four if you include the cat), the location, the conflict and the message. In this case you can ask students to write a sentence about what each character does and/or wants.]]> 2020-02-12 14:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/leahun/cky1k4ryw1sy/wish/444329499
