The pictures and video is set to music, there are words to read and there is no voice. Video is of good quali
Inferences: Knowing Text Structure
Video explains what inference is and how students can use inference to be a better reader. Inferences can help you with cause and effect, chronological order, compare and contrast. Using inference skills is used to help figure out the progression of ideas and text structure of a narrative. Video gives a reading and student has to find which inference is used, it then explains why that is the answer. Good quality video for understanding inf
Inferences: Knowing text structure

This is a brief, professionally-produced clip from the program Cells: The Structure of Life. This segment, using simple computer animation with 'live' microscopic images, explores the structure of the cell.
The Great Mystery of the Castle in Florida (Part 2)
It all revolves around the mysteries of Coral Castle which is located in Homestead, Florida. It is a truly great structure because of the fact that it was built by one man named Mr. Edward Leedskalnin who in fact was a Latvian man. He was quite short and small as well.
