Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Use the video in conjunction with a student activity on photography. Using cell phones or other camera options, have students decide in advance on the “message” behind some photographs they plan to take then go out and take them. Share images with peers for conversation/evaluation on how well the intended message was conveyed.
*Segment videos are short excerpts edited from interviews or interactive programs that offer flexible and differentiated ways to use the rich content included in the full-length conversation.
**The unique Video ID can be used to quickly locate a single video in the ET collection. This search function is designed to let teachers assign students to watch a specific video and have only that video appear as a search result. Just click on Search and choose “By Video ID.” Then type in the Video ID as it appears above. Be sure to include the dash.
