I Am A Princess-Expository

  Alana Morris showed me this video the other day.  She showed it to me without the visual of the video. I only heard the voices in the video. I was critically listening to find  the central or controlling  idea. Listening in to the video provided opportunity to pause and find place to fill in the gaps for the reader.  There were places where an anecdote used to prove a point would have been perfect.  However, when you watch it, the visuals used are the examples that you would find in the writing.  The author the writing (without the visuals) would need to support their beliefs with examples.
  The video itself, with the visuals, is very touching.  However, if you just listened to the words you would want to find out more.  This would be  good one to do with Analytic Talk or Say Back.  Alana alluded to fact that in hearing it, without the visuals,  this would be an excellent way to see where the author could include anecdotal examples. He/she would do this to solidify and support their belief. There are always places to revise. I really like this idea.  Alana has such great ideas but it doesn't end there.  Nope.  Wait for it....she makes her own yogurt! CRAZY, right?  No, it's quite simply Alana, a woman of many talents!  Thanks Alana!  Have fun with the video and the idea.
