5-Minute Film Festival: Teaching in a Winter Wonderland
For the coldest and shortest month, VideoAmy has pulled together a collection of great videos for winter-themed lessons across all disciplines.
Ahhhh, February. The shortest, bleakest, and often chilliest month (well, at least for those in the northern hemisphere). The holidays are well behind us, but spring seems a long way off. So what teaching and learning inspiration can we pull from the flurries, the gray skies, the cold?
While you're scraping the ice off your car, take a moment to consider the beauty, the power, and the potential teachable moments of winter. To get you started, I've gathered a collection of videos that explore winter themes in every subject. Snowflake geometry? Check. Winter poetry? Check. Speed skating physics? Check. So bundle up and have a look! And if you're in New Zealand, just wait until July.
