Using GreatBIGStory with your Students

GreatBigStory.com is owned by CNN.  Some say it was created as an alternative to Buzzfeed.  It contains short, narrated video clips.  These video clips are great to use as a springboard in your sessions.

Start by watching these videos and you will see what we mean:

Use a multisensory approach for vocabulary by incorporating media for Teaching Vocabulary.  Watch The Great Bagel Rivalry and Rivalry Behind Puma and Adidas to teach about “rivalry”. Work on story recall by watching How Nachos were Created and Engineering the Most Annoying Sound.  Identify the Problem and Solution by watching How Tootsie Rolls Saved the Troops and Knocker Upper.

What goals would you work on with:

The Dentist Who Created Cotton Candy  and How Curious George Escaped Nazi Germany

Use our template to get your started on your session plans!!

Remember to PREVIEW all videos and good luck!
