[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What TS video was this?

Haha OP won’t answer because they know they overreacted. [/quote]

Yep. 4 pages worth of questions, asking for details, and comments. Nothing from OP. [/quote]

That’s incorrect. I’ve posted and you didn’t notice. Arguing with immature posters like you is not my goal here. Parents and school officials need to be aware of the poor judgment from certain teachers in charge of READING classes.

Reading teachers often use lyrics, and hearing the spoken words can be part of that.  Reading is thinking, by the way. You can't read if you can't think and comprehend. Learning about differing types of writing...hence reading material..is important.  Imagery, metaphors, figurative language etc., are often found in lyrics. [/quote]

Again, the concern here is not the lyrics. It’s the very shallow video that the teacher played during instruction time. There’s an array of enriching material that can be used for reading comprehension and higher thinking skills. Maybe the reading teacher needs more training. [/quote]

I am a teacher who knows what video you are talking about. It is in the middle-school 6-8 Lucy Calkins. The video is used to teach about motifs and symbolism. The unit also includes short stories and a poem. It is important to connect media and books. Gets the kids to make larger connections with themes. [/quote]
