New Way to Introduce China

I created an introduction to my lesson plan on China using Iphoto. The short video shows the basic information that a second grader should already have before a lesson. However, I know that this is not the case with all children and a subtle reminder for all students is always beneficial. I would show the video as an introduction to both the lesson and to the Unit on China. The video shows the students a world map, the country's flag and other interesting facts about the country.

The lesson plan is much more extensive but instead of asking students if they know this information, I simply show them the video and I am positive that they now have some background on China.

I will make another for Egypt because that too is an SOL for second graders. I am glad I made this video because I was able to learn how easy it is make and now I can say I make Iphoto videos on my resume. Although, that is not the main reason I made the video it is simply a perk. I hope you find the video as helpful as I found it.
