Videos for Hippie Teachers to Use in Class

Beneath the neatly ironed shirt and expensive slacks, I'm still a bit crunchy. Though I shy away from any and all things political with adults, I do have a bit of a tendency to get a bit preachy in front of a room of impressionable YLs. That's not to say that I stand behind my little bully pulpit of a desk assigning them reading passages by Naomi Klein and telling them that it's acceptable to spell woman with a "y." Rather, I like to combine project work and CLIL with socially conscious themes.

year I went to Mali and when I came back from vacation my YLs were filled with questions. "Why would you go to a Third World country for vacation?" "Were you scared?" "Do they have food?" The idea that someone would choose to go to a poor country was totally foreign to them. So we spent a couple weeks looking at poverty. We started with this very thought provoking video from National Geographic.
