Making Writing Meaningful
When teachers introduce subjects that matter to middle school students or allow them more freedom to choose and develop topics, the task of writing gains new meaning and purpose. In this session, participants examine how five middle-level teachers help their students connect to writing and understand its capacity to transform their own lives and the world around them. (58:25)

This video is about the Cornell Note-taking System. It is a parody to
"California Gurls" by Katy Perry. The music may be a turn-off for some.
How to Study for a Math Test
This 2:30 minute long video is about how to study for a math test, review as much homework as possible, be familiar with
the terminology and do a self test out of a text book to practice
solving math problems. This is a college level video, but useful for most all grade levels.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the amount of variety of organisms in a particular area and is typically used to measure the "health" of an ecosystem. Biodiversity usually encompasses genetic diversity (variations within individual populations), ecosystem diversity (within ecosystems) and landscape diversity (range of differing ecosystems within an area).

"Our Little Ghost" by Louisa May Alcott (poetry reading)
Maybe this is a poem about a living child expressed in a somewhat macabre way, but on close examination that seems less likely. Louisa May Alcott is better known for her novel Little Women, published in 1865, one of the first novels of the movement called Literary Realism. When reality is harsh, literature and art tend to be idealised. Little Women is about a family of four sisters. Beth, the youngest, becomes ill and she actually dies.

ENS Lyon - La peur détruira-t-elle la ville? (Sophie Body-Gendrot)
La peur facilite la gouvernance des peuples, mobilise les citoyens, légitime un séparatisme social spontané. Son instrumentalisation politique et médiatique est ciblée sur la ville, car celle-ci est la métaphore des tensions sociales. L'«insécurité» cache un refoulé de questions majeures pour les sociétés et pour les habitants des villes, en particulier.

Thermal imaging is the leading non destructive testing method for mechanical and process problems that show temperature differentials. The key phrase here is "non-destructive". Let's take an example - you own an older home, and with older homes come older plumbing. A leak develops in a pipe joint in one of the walls. The leak cannot be seen due to the fact that it is hidden behind the walls. In a very short time mold problems begin to develop. Given the nature of older homes, it is relatively ea
