http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJnCrlvYgZo : Four Genres of Literature CBRT Performance

The first two URLs are YouTubes that show classrooms that are out of control. I plan to show these to my students at the beginning of the school year as we are learning classroom procedures. I will show the video and then have a discussion about what they think a classroom should look like compared to what they saw in the videos.

The third video is of second graders performing a skit about the four genres of literature. This will be an introduction to our discussion of genres at the beginning of the year. The video covers what the four types are, explains them, and gives examples. We will then go into more detail with our own books in the classroom.
