What is cooperation?
What is conflict?
After watching, we can talk about what they noticed, what they found interesting, or whatever else comes to mind, but they can also tell me what cooperation and conflict are. Videos like this can be such helpful tools for showing what some of these character traits we're studying look like and sound like.
I am glad you are liking your new technology in your room. Great videos to demonstrate for kids!

Lori, I'm liking it a lot, although I know I've got a lot to learn about using it in authentic ways.
DeleteLove that the impetus for cooperation came from a child! And everything Robin Williams is funny :) Thanks for sharing! And in case it might ever be helpful, I have a whole list on my blog of Perfect Picture Books listed alphabetically and by theme, specifically to help teachers and parents. They all included resources for expanding the use of the book at home or in the classroom. It's a work in progress (I'm quite behind in updating it!) but there are a lot of great books listed!
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know about the books on your blog. There are so many great ones out there!
DeleteMy kids love that video from India! I never thought to show it in tandem with something on conflict. Thank you for sharing those! :)
