Activities for the video “The Story of the Mayflower" for Elementary Students
By Collaborative Educators 3000
After trade and communication between Europe and the Americas began following Columbus's voyage in 1492, many Europeans began to seek opportunities in the New World. One such group, now known as the Pilgrims, sailed from England to North America in 1620.
In 1620 the Mayflower crossed from England to North America. Filled to the brim with passengers, livestock, and supplies, they faced many delays before finally reaching the shores of the New World. The Pilgrims suffered and many of them died to establish a settlement in what is now Massachusetts, but through cooperation with local tribes of Native Americans they were eventually able to thrive.
Watch the excellent video “The Story of the Mayflower and the First Thanksgiving for Children” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brqIER2KHbE) with your students, and then do the activities in this ebook. The answers are available at the end of the book, as well as plenty of guidance for the teacher in the Teacher's notes.
Egg Incubation and Hatching Unit- Over 2 Hours of Footage + Worksheets and Test
By Ms. J's ELA
Don’t you want your students to have the opportunity to see baby chickens and ducks hatch? It is hard to incubate eggs in the classroom. It is messy, it can be distracting for the kids, and once the birds hatch you have to figure out what to do with them! This resource allows your students to see every step of the incubation process without all the hassle. You will receive over 2 hours of videos, along with worksheet pages that include parts of an egg, egg writing prompts, and egg drawing sheets. Best of all, you will have ample footage of adorable baby birds!
This resource contains differentiated assignments that are designed to make this unit useful for teachers of all elementary grade levels. I would like you to know ahead of time that baby birds are a little icky looking when they hatch. Of course, they fluff up after a while, and you will get to see them once they do. However, the soggy, dinosaur looking baby birds could be a little frightening to very young students unless they are prepped. You could always skip the active hatching videos.
This resource covers the entire egg hatching and incubation process. This resource contains videos for each day of the 21 days of incubation, along with footage of the 2 and 3 day old birds. You can see a breakdown of the video topics and the length of each video below. Below the schedule you will see a list of assignments and worksheets that you will receive with your purchase.

Core French Beginner Children's Stories Videos and Worksheets | Francais
By Jennifer
2 French Children's Story Videos (Petit Poulet and L'Oiseau et la baleine) from The French Experiment are linked.
For your beginner Core French class, I recommend having students watch one of the videos in French first with no subtitles. Have them try to answer as many questions as possible from the accompanying worksheet. You might want to play the video at .75x speed if you teach elementary students.
Next, play the video once more, this time with subtitles. Students will be able to fill in the blanks they missed the first time around.
The last question for each of the stories allow students to think critically about the lesson each story teaches.
The worksheets are in English. The videos are in French.
I found this allows students to think about what they are watching more carefully, learning more French words along the way.
An answer key is not included, but the questions are very simple and you will be able to answer them easily after watching the video. I wrote the answers while watching the videos along with the students.
The French Experiment offers these two French videos for free. The rest are on a paid version. You can check it out below.

Activities on the video “Biography: Santa Claus” for Elementary Students
By Collaborative Educators 3000
By November 1st, Santa Claus is everywhere, but you probably didn’t know that Santa wasn’t always the fat man in the red suit. In fact, Santa didn't get his iconic, jolly look until Thomas Nast, a political cartoonist, drew him that way. Before the 1860s, Santa was represented as everything, from a jolly elf to a tall gaunt man. In central Europe, Santa was even depicted alongside the Krampus, a devilish figure who punishes bad children.
This enlightening video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO0MzHu3Tuw) by the acclaimed History Channel, describes how Santa Claus took the form we now know due to the creativity of New Yorker cartoonist Thomas Nast. Watch the video with your students, with or without subtitles, and then do the activities that follow in this ebook. There are activities for all kinds of learners, especially the younger ones.
At the back of the book, you will find detailed Teacher's Notes with directions about the activities, as well as the Answer key.

In summary, with imaginative traps, excellent humor, meaningful themes, and a well-crafted narrative, this story will lead you to reconsider wanting to grow up too quickly. It effortlessly combines humor, suffering, feelings, human instinct, and clever booby-traps into a single compact package. This movie has remarkably withstood the passage of time.
