Movie Shorts and Reading Strategies

Some days I really love pinterest.   Today I found an awesome resource from a blog called, Technology Up to Speed.  A fifth grade teacher compiled a list of various movie shorts that are appropriate for kids in helping teaching reading strategies.

This first google doc link is to a list of animated shorts. She has included the youtube links and what reading strategies with which she believes they work the best. 

The second google doc link is to a list of graphic organizers to use with each short.  They are not specific to the short and can be used for any resource.  There is one graphic organizer for each reading strategy.  

This is a valuable resource that would also be great to use with the SMART Board!   If you need help using You Tube, just ask Allison or myself!
