Story is the EMS theme. Many teachers at EMS have embraced this and have their students doing considerable work around it. Digital tools like “StoryCorps”, “Spreaker”, and “Ted Ed” education have all helped facilitate this process.
Ted Ed. education is an excellent resource for teachers in every discipline. It provides videos are that can introduce a topic and, in some cases provides “exemplars’ to motivate students to think outside the box. These three links might prove helpful as you introduce topics to students.
- Link To Ted Ed.-Explore the library- if you like what you see set up an account. All disciplines are touched on here and come with short quizzes and guided questions. They can and can be expanded and adapted.
- Let’s Make History...by recording it- story crops & Ted Prize- A great short video that touches on the importance of preserving stories.
- An example: Blake and his Grandfather
- Soccer: the world’s favorite game- Exemplar- Teachers may choose to show a short clip as it would seem to appeal to many of our students. In the soccer fields of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, a provincial soccer star shares how her love of soccer has changed her life and the lives of the kids in her neighborhood.
