Click on the image above and you’ll find yourself on the TED website which has a wealth of amazing video clips (mostly for second level and beyond) that can be used for teaching those big ideas that children often find tricky. I love this video, it’s a great one to use in Writing or Reading Workshop to get the children making connections!

It could also make a great World Book Day hook for the whole school… come as YOUR hero!
