I would use this video from TeacherTube as an opener to a teacher discussion about setting up and using a classroom for LA instruction. What would you use? What would you change and why? So that even if it is not the perfect classroom for them they can gain a deeper understanding of what their students need.

This classroom video is from SchoolTube and something we could use to teach persuasive writing. I think students would connect with it and have a better understanding of the purpose for this kind of writing.

Isn't it amazing how many awesome video resources are out on the web? I could end up browsing for hours and still barely scratch the surface of what's available. I love the two you found. The one on persuasive writing was really creative!
