 * Video Clips:**

//SIOP Method:// I choose this video provided by Rebecca because it gives a great explanation and examples of the method and how it is used. I love the example the teacher gave about the girl in one of her classes that did not understand and how she would turn and ask fellow classmates for help. I could actually picture this girl doing that in class. I liked that after they found some techniques that worked for her, she was showing improvements in other classes as well. Thanks Rebecca for the clip!

//Whole Language Approach:// I really enjoyed watching this video provided by Melissa because it was a brief introduction to the approach and the guy is very catchy. He kept my attention and I loved his examples, especially the wrestling coach example! I loved how he narrated the video and provided a visual to go along with it. Great video, Thanks Melissa!

//Communicative Approach:// This clip is actually a PowerPoint video and has very useful information about the approach. I was hoping to see a visual example of the approach, but I do enjoy the video. I think we use this approach in the everyday classroom when we provide valuable time for the students to interact together on activities or group work. Thanks Sun for the video clip!

 * Websites:**

//Suggestopedia:// I really liked this website that Kim picked out. I like that it is in a slide show and gives great information on this approach that I have never heard about before. I like being exposed to new things, especially if I can use it in my future classroom! Thanks Kim!

//Natural Approach:// Great article that is brief and to the point about the approach. I like the example lesson of the approach for the intermediate learners in the elementary. I know this is a great approach for learning a foreign language and I know that I used it when I was taking French and Spanish and just didn't know it. I really like this approach and will try to build up my collection of activities for it to use in my classroom! Thanks Kassie!

//Total Physical Response:// I really, really like this method! I think it is a great way to help the students learn and you can do such fun things with it! I like the website Marci picked out because Teacher Joe is great and I liked his sequences that he used and I think they are fun and would be fun to use in the classroom! Thanks Marci!
