Videos about literature and stories, grammar, writing, and teaching in general.
I teach language arts to students at LaFayette High School in rural northwest Georgia (not far from Chattanooga, TN). While I am a transplanted Yankee, I come from a geographically and demographically similar area. There's a lot that's different here, but a lot that feels familiar.
Teachers have a responsibility - and an opportunity - to identify where students are at, what's important to them, and to encourage and support them on their way toward those goals. I'm hoping that this channel will be a way for me to help my students, but that it will also connect me with other educators who are passionate about teaching, and perhaps most importantly, reflect on my own practices and become a better teacher myself.

Homework Isn't As Bad As You Think
Homework is one of the most divisive issues in public education. Much of the current buzz (and the less-current research) has indicated that homework is not helpful; however, there is more recent research that shows that brief reflective practice does improve recall and comprehension. But a muddled sense of purpose, driven by conflicting expectations, can make it difficult to create homework assignments that actually help students learn.

Nouns, Part 1 - Introduction, and Concrete vs Abstract Nouns
Переглядів 1153 місяці тому
The noun is one of the core building blocks of language. As with other common forms, though, this means that it's deceptively simple on the surface, but the deeper you go, the more exceptions and contradictions you'll find. But don't worry. With patience, persistence, and practice, you can prevail! • Blog: teachingreflection.wordpress.com/ • Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/user/show/5958494-ms-col...

The most important lessons that students remember from us, as teachers, often aren't the ones that are listed in the curriculum.

Is there a reason you didnt like Saga as much?
Hi Dana! I sure wish my high school teachers had had more of your attitude towards homework haha. My gpa prob woulda been high enough to go straight to UC Davis from high school instead of being relegated to community college. Had the SAT scores, could usually score high on the tests in class, but sophomore year I really didn’t care about homework, and that was all it took to make me noncompetitive.
As a parent who has a young student who will be starting his academic career soon this video was super helpful! Thank you!
I still suck at homework and I'm 30. That's why I won't be doing a Phd. I wish someone forced me more consistently into doing the work when I was a kid. I rarely had interest, in middle school I could often do the homework between the time it was assigned and the time that specific class was over, and in high school I always did it last minute or not at all and it was fine.
Why do you wish someone had more consistently forced you to do the work?
Thank you, well at least your homework doesn't sound that bad. I still feel like oftentimes there's way too much mandatory but potentially unnecessary homework 🙃
I think comprehension is a skill & think the 5w1h are fundamental asking & answering who what where when which why how & there derivatives give us the whole picture goodvid thanks.
What do you think about using a program to read your work out loud to you? I feel like it wouldn't have the same effect because a program doesn't stumble or slow down. I'm kinda too shy to ask anyone to read my work to me though.
It wouldn't have the SAME effect, but it would have a similar effect, because you're listening, and that forces you to go at the pace set by the reader. The program can't hesitate or ask questions, which is why a real person would be better. But this is a great option as well!
DANA!!! Look at you about to cross over to 1,000 subs and monetisation. Hope all's well with you, you absolutely wonderful, awesome person.
Alas, they went and changed the requirements - I don't have remotely enough watch time to qualify yet. 🤷🏼
@@DanaColeDares Watch time?! Bloody UA-cam 😒
Hi Dana
Thank you so much, welcome back to school!
I haven’t used my local library in ages, but that’s really cool how the library has a direct relationship to the school for transferring books back and forth. Hey, maybe you can find some books about student movements in the US and around the world, like say in Bangladesh for instance. Then you could go over those in your classroom along with the Ayn Rand, and when people start whining you just say Hey I’m being Fair and Balanced.
Oohh noooo, not a capitalist! Like Elizabeth Warren haha, passing resemblance perhaps. I just came across Steve’s channel randomly last night, checked out a few vids to feel him out, and being a massive Star Trek fan, I watched you two watch The Begotten. Besides DS9 being my favorite Trek, it was also fun to watch you tell Steve to shut up haha. Little sad to see that u make few videos, but I’m sure that makes sense since you’re a busy teacher. I also used to enjoy writing checks back in the day when I was young haha, but once I had to join the official workforce outside the home I didn’t have time for all that. Glad I stumbled across you as well as Steve, hope u can figure out a way to subvert Ayn Rand haha
I'm working on that subversion! Mostly I want students to do more than just accepting what the text says without question. 😬 We'll see how it goes...
thanks for sharing it!
27:15 -- Sounded more like this one Schwarzenegger announcing he was a Republican during one of Conan O'Brien's "Via Satellite" skits...
amazing teacher
the height of buliding is 39 feet . what is abstract noun here
In this case, both 'height' and 'feet' are abstract nouns. Thanks for a great example!
@@DanaColeDares you are such a great teacher 🤗
Thanks for this neat nouns video!
You can cut/copy/paste a whole line at a time by pressing shift+down at the beginning/end of a line. Just remember to paste the full lime out from the same position in the line (from start to start, or from end to the end)
Also, if a word completely matches but one is longer, the longer one goes after (it sorted by length last as that is least important.
I came over after watching Steve's video. It's a lot of fun to see this discussion between the two of you. I highly recommend listening to the original radio story this was inspired by as well as the other episodes that are up at the Internet Archive. My parents bought me a boxed set of LPs in the early '70s when I was a kid that had a bunch of episodes and I listened to them over and over again.
Since I'm SB'd on the “No One Wants to Work Anymore” vid, going to try one here.
Nah, I'm just swamped with school this year and have only been able to check comments occasionally, alas. You're good! :)
Great video. Thanks for the commentary.
It's a s1_ave system. You work, usually enriching the oligarchs in one way or another, or you eventually die. You have billions of competitors, they have few. They're the ones with the power, so they'll treat you as they will.
9:18 this will result in those lower cost of living places to become more expensive. This is what happened to Florida and Texas. People flocked away from California etc with their high paying/remote tech jobs and drove up the cost of rent and homes.
It doesn't' have ANYTHING to do with pay -- people just don't want to work. I'm middle age and left a $130K a year job in 2017 because I was surrounded by middle age professional coworkers everywhere I went that put more effort into pretending to work than doing actual work. Decided I'd just work for myself, instead - tired of the nonsense.
Do you think that a decade ago, a generation ago, or a century ago, that wasn't true? That people WANTED to work for jobs that provided minimal compensation, with a main purpose not of providing a valuable product or service, but of increasing company profit?
@@DanaColeDares I wasn't aware that $130,000 in 2017 was considered minimal compensation.
@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow I didn't say minimum wage, but minimal compensation. Given how much non-work you say your colleagues were doing, do you really think they'd have stuck around at all if they pay was less? If the employer couldn't keep the positions filled at a lower rate of compensation, then what they're currently offering is minimal. And, as you point out, pay isn't the only factor. I make a smidgen over half of that - before taxes - and I bust my butt at what I do because (a) I believe deeply in the value of that work, and (b) it's enough that I can pay my bills.
This is a great refresher! Thank you!
Atlas is shrugging. The collapse of modern society will be great and terrible to behold.

Well no one wants to work anymore because in the past the Income could buy you more... the new generation is being scammed by the boomers in some way since they are getting paid less for their time (in terms of value), need to buy homes from them at an exponentially higher price and on the top they have to pay their retirement. Also more tax now compared to the past.
if you can't find workers and wounder why you can't find anyone to work for you business .... get a clue your place of business is a POS
I'm sorry I just saw the caption and had to put a comment - why would anyone "want" to work🤣 we do it because it's the system we're born into. Now define work. Cause Ipeople will definitely have a desire to work if it's either for themselves or for other people. I loved the work I put in at university, because that was purely for me endless nights and at the end of it all I was poor, i wasnt incentivised by money but incentivised by the challenge of studying law and pushing myself beyond what I thought I was capable of. What people don't like is menial nonsense work like office based roles or warehouse work, working for peanuts whilst they have no time or energy to actually enjoy their life. Work, life balance is broken - people don't want to "not work" people just don't like losing themselves to work that they don't give a fuck about big big difference if it's work that touches the individuals heart, or if the work actually has some sort of merit or purpose to the world or to the individual, the passion will be there and people will want to do it. If people don't want to work anymore, maybe its not a reflection of the individual, but a reflection of the system we live in.
I work in retail for a large company, and the company all that bad, but the scheduling is all over the place so I’m always tired, I’m overworked and having a never ending burnout feeling. Just a set schedule or never have my days pulled far apart with 6 day work weeks would help. I’m always to tired to do anything, and there’s never enough help. I’m so done. I wanted to climb the corporate ladder but I’d rather saw my arm off.
I hope you find a solution that works for you. <3
I enjoy my job.
Are you surprised...? 😒Shocker...
Awesome channel
If Americans don’t want to work 40 hours a week anymore that’s fine! You know who will work 40 and 50 hours a week for $15 bucks an hour? The people coming over the southern border border will that’s who!
The place I work at is having trouble finding anyone that wants to work part time, 1-3 days a week and fairly consistent hours because anyone that wants a job needs the money. Funny how that all works.
I'm glad that more people are waking up and are taking less crap from their employers. It's healthier if employees have more say so in their workplace AND lives!
Hell yeah people went to get rich tired of working every day
That's good
I definitely am sick of working in corporate and barely surviving. Companies have high ass standards leading to the lack or employees or a poor environment.
Humans are always working. They just might not be working on the things that the prior generation understands or determines as 'real' work. Things are changing.
People don't want to work bad jobs anymore.
For the first time in history people are rich enough to not work at jobs they don't like and still not starve. Look at the photos of men working from 100 years ago. Digging ditches, walking on steel skyscrapers, tunneling under mountains with dynamite. Dirty, dull, dangerous, desperate work. You can stare at those old photographs all you want and you won't find one fellow who wants to be there.
This is 100% facts. You might be onto something with the idea that government may not even have to intervene with the minimum wage increase, because I’ve never heard that idea being proposed before. I’ve worked for minimum wage, and each and everytime I felt that It was just lousy, having to work for someone, that barely even cares about you in that way. I’ve had to walk out on 4 jobs so far, most of them claiming that I had been “Fired” when in reality, I just didn’t want to be treated poorly for minimum wage. Plain and simple, and in my fifth job it’s the same deal. I got sick and tired of being a blue collared worker in current America, and now I’d rather be an Open-Collared worker, where I can do freelance work, work for myself, focus on what I need for myself, and not have to worry about someone coming up to me, telling me how I should run my job. This is not a thing for everyone, this is just for me, but complete and utter independence under every facet you can think of possible is more rewarding than having someone tell you what you can and can’t do despite the institution you’re under.
Make more videos! You give us numbers and facts to back up your statements. Yeah, it takes a lot of time, but your ideas can educated people and improve their lives. MAKE MORE VIDEOS,....
Very smart woman...
It was interesting to hear all of that from the EU. Situation is the same here. Salaries are not following property prices...We do not have a shortage of workers, we have a shortage of salary.
We are having housing problems in Ohio. Greedy LLC’s are grabbing single family houses and renting them at higher rents. In Cincinnati my property tax more than doubled. LLC’s paid more than working people could afford (why not? It’s not their own money.) Now the younger people are paying so much in rent they can’t save for a first home. I can see why they are not motivated to work for lower wages. People receiving government benefits are probably better off than people working.
I'm not sure that forced minimum wage on companies is going to work in the long run. I can see that it looks like a noble cause and a desperate attempt to fight greedy companies. But companies will just find strategies around it in one way or the other and start demanding "work harder" and filtering away candidates THEY THINK are going to be "F ups"(yeah it's super stupid).
There's paper records that go back to the 1880s of people claiming "No one wants to work anymore". Not saying this isn't true, I actually think this has been the case for some time and will continue to grow as it probably has.
