Pinterest Find :: Free Movie Clips

Clapper Board

Ever been in that moment when you’ve got a super visually-oriented or antsy group? (I know….NEVER, right?) I don’t know about you, but I just don’t have the time or memory to scale youtube or my own personal movie stash looking for a clip to demonstrate what I’m teaching.

Which is why I was very excited when I came across this movie clips website recently on Pinterest! You can sort by traditional movie topics such as editor, genre, actor, or my personal favorite….THEME!

From there, they have topics such as:

– Character
– Aggression
– Grief
– Betrayal
– Compromise
– Distrust
– Equality
– Listening

and TONS more.

Now, I do have a disclaimer: not all clips are appropriate for all ages (obviously – this is Hollywood, people!), so make sure to preview anything you play for your students and/or obtain appropriate parent permission if necessary.

I’ve already used tons of clips and my students have loved them!

Hopefully this will help put a little spark in your lessons 🙂

My students often have a difficult time thinking about cause and effect – especially when related to their behavior, so I created these activities help them learn cause and effect using fun school-related situations and home and community events. It contains the following:

– What’s the Cause? Worksheet
– What’s the Effect? WorksheetScreen Shot 2013-01-20 at 11.29.49 AM
– 2 Cause and Effect Graphic OrganizersScreen Shot 2013-01-20 at 11.30.09 AM
– 36 Cause and Effect Question Cards with Decorative Card Backs (editable – also found in Social Skills Land Extension Packs). I use these for Jeopardy and other games/contests and the kids don’t even notice they’re “working.”
