Videos can be used to introduce or summarize a concept in the classroom. It helps with visualization (tie words with pictures) and is one more learning modality for the student. Some students need to have more exposure from all angles to a concept in order to retain the information.
1. I chose this video in youtube because it addresses landforms at a higher vocabulary level in Spanish so that the students can be, if not necessarily remember verbatim, at least exposed. Over time, meaning should set in.

2. From Discovery Learning, this video about George Washington Carver reinforces the student's L2 vocabulalry. Mr. Carver is part of the list of famous people in the social studies curriculum. Through him, some facts about plants and soil rotation (science) is introduced as well as how peanut became another cash crop after cotton. While we study and discuss Mr. Carver in L1(Spanish) during social studies , the L2(English) vocabulary enrichment takes place during language arts. The study of this character is a criss-crosses severa subjects (social studies, science, and language arts).
