Video Clips for Classroom Use

Post the video clip that you found appropriate for one or more FACS content areas. Identify the area for which it could be used. Follow the example below.

[|The “Ideal” 1950s Housewife] This is a video clip portraying the "Ideal" housewife of the 1950s. I used it to show you how the "idealized" American woman was represented on television in that decade; it also illustrates how woman's role in the home was portrayed during that decade. It could be used as discussion starter about changes in the roles of family members and how family life has changed since the 1950s.

[|100 Ways to Show Children You Care] The title sort of gives this video away. It is a 5 minute video that contains various pictures of guardians and children and list 100 ways to show children you care. It could be used in a caring for young children, parenting, child development, or human relations section, chapter, or course. It could even be used for various topics discussed in organizations. The video is good quality and could be used in a number of situation.

[|Table Manners] This video clip is a short clip from the popular television show King of Queens. It is actually a video where both Doug and Arthur have very bad table manners. I used this clip to gain students attention for a lesson on etiquette and table manners. I had the student watch and note all the bad manners that could be improved. We later talked about positive etiquette and table manners.

[|Job Search 101: Dress for Success] This clip about how to dress appropriately for your job and specifically an interview would be beneficial in a careers or employability class as well as a short unit within comprehensive courses. The narrator uses humor and basic points to convey the message. I used this to kick-off a lesson on professional dress and had students write down how they would want to be remembered after leaving a job interview.

[|Notebook: Food Safety] This clip is from Katie Couric on a salmonella outbreak. She introduces this piece by asking the question, "Is our food really safe?" I wanted students to see relevant situations of why food safety was important during my lesson on basic food borne illness.

This video clip warns young people about the dangers of posting personal information (specifically images) online. I would use this video clip in a Relationships class when we were discussing emotional health. The lesson would be centered around the use of social networking and it's benefits and drawbacks. This is a short clip but has a huge impact. The main characters in the video are students in a modern school setting.

[|Stuck on an Escalator] I love this video clip. It is one I use often when I'm looking for a bit of humor to introduce a lesson or workshop on using your own personal devices or problem solving. I't's also a great clip for a blog or personal website. In the video a man and a woman are riding up an escalator when it stops. Both the man and the woman are completely bewildered. They are representing a generation of people who do not know how to make use of problem solving skills to work through the situations that arise in life. I like to use humorous video clips to introduce lessons with heavier content. It is a great way to enter the lesson on a light note and transition into the material. Don't be the one that gets stuck on an escalator!

We Used to Be Best Friends; Password Safety A big issue over the past couple of years has been Internet Safety, along with identity theft. I thought that this video would be a great video to show in a FACS class or to FCCLA students because it capture's ones attention by the illustrations and the voice of the young girl. The girl was so hurt by her 'Friend' and this demonstrates how we really need to be protecting our privacy, no matter who we think we can trust.

[|How a Baby Develops During Pregnancy] This video shows the growth of a fetus during pregnancy. This video would be great for a younger group of children because it is an animation and has narration that is easy to follow and understand. It would be easy to pause this video to talk about the different stages of growth as well.

[|New My Plate] This video would be good to be used as an introduction to the new My Plate campaign. Since most people still think of the food pyramid for their healthy food choices, this video explains why the My Plate was developed and how it can help make healthy food choices a little easier.

This is video clip adds a little humor to a nutrition class. It talks about healthy eating and involves one of the school "cooks"! I think this would be a great project idea for students. Students could interview a school lunch lady or someone within the school system. This clip could also be used as an intro to a lesson, it gets goofy at some parts of the clip so it would allow students to get a little laugh in before class starts!

This video clip is a slide show that could introduce the topic of teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy is something that needs to be addressed in schools.

This is a video clip to introduce Herbs and Spices. The comedian Michael McIntyre does a little bit on how there are more herbs and spices to use than just salt and pepper. It gives a little laugh before you jump into things. I did clip one part of the video because it says bastard, but I was not able to upload the clip so this is the original you tube version.
