Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should be able to: recognise the varieties of region and sub-state nations that exist within Europe; explain the growth of regionalism; critically assess the view that what is evolving is a ‘Europe of the Regions’; engage better with debates about the future direction of Europe, and the place of your nation or ‘region’ within it; improve your skills of academic reading and
Introduction This unit discusses the future of Europe, and it looks particularly closely at what may happen to the smaller political units presently existing below the level of the nation-state. These include nation-regions like Scotland and Wales, larger entities like the German Länder, and smaller more recently created regions with less existing cultural unity. Despite the very large differences between them, for our purposes all these political entities are called ‘regions’. The un

History of Egypt Part One: Ancient Times Through Cleopatra
This seven minute video does a good job of explaining Egypt's history and showing examples of its geography and architecture. Frequent images of the map help place the student, but it would be beneficial if the students had a map of their own to follow the action.
Great Pyramid Mystery Solved?
How were the blocks raised to the top of the 489ft Great Pyramid? An architect develops a theory about a snaking internal ramp inside the pyramid. This video includes a 3D model and shows how cranes could have been used. This video could be used in science classes as well as history ones.
Roman Timeline
An eight minute illustrated Roman Timeline from 753 B.C to 1453. There is no narration, but the images and written explanation are good and present a picture of what was happening during this time period. A good introduction, but moves too rapidly for students to take notes.
Five Facts about China
Five Facts about China - Learn about dinosaur fossils in China, the return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule, dolphins in the Yangtze River, the Kashgar bazaar and the study of Confucius' teachings in schools.This five minute video offers students a chance to expand their understanding of the geography and history of China. Good images.
Healing in Ancient Greece
This 1:34 video explains the Greek sanctuaries that
honor Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and how
performing at the theater were ways the Greeks believed improved their health. This would make a good video for explaining how that being able to express yourself is believed to be helpful as well as a good video to show how health was a such concern to the Greeks. Would be a nice contrast/compare to television commercials for health products.
Ancient Egyptian Religion and Myths
This five minute video explains how their gods formed the bases for many of the country's cultural beliefs and events. The gods are explained and their deeds explained. The images are vivid. A good overview for students. The students might benefit from a word wall filled with the names of the gods and their relationships.
The Renaissance
This one minute video shows how artists developed perspective and reality in their art. Very short video.
Good Presentations: Gestures

The presenter in this video deliberately starts out with an example of a poor presentation. Part of the series: Physical Delivery for Good Presentations. In good presentations, voice intonation and variation help engage the audience. Properly use the voice for good presentations with tips from a teacher, presenter and facilitator. (02:27)
6th Grade American History and State Standards
This is from Nebraska Star Standard and goes into detail about what the standards cover and how they should be covered in this two minute video. It would be useful for teachers in other states is the standards are similar.
