Interesting infographic about "how Americans spend their time". Depending on your Pathways book, it could tie in very well, especially the "Life in a Day" unit (Level 3? Can't remember). Plus it would support the focus on visual literacy that Pathways (and research) is focusing on as a critical 21st century student/workplace skill.

A very cool site that lets you "explore" various national parks with beautiful AV support. Looks like it would be an excellent supplement to the Pathways books.

Cool collection of short videos that might fit well with Pathways curriculum. Accessible to Level 3(?) and up

Hi, this Ted video is excellent and relates perfectly to the Pathways 4 Chapter 2 L/S part on Chernobyl. Monica

Short video (11 minutes) and accompanying lesson plan about teaching "author's purpose". Not for ESL learners, but easily adaptable, and a big part of the reading goals in Pathways 3 & Level 6.

Free to register; lots of lesson plans about teaching various reading comprehension strategies. More explicit than Pathways in teaching skills.

Thought this might be interesting to those of you who have Pathways units dealing with exploring the ocean.

NBC News has a ton of short (2-5 minute) videos on a wide variety of subjects (the brain, natural disasters, nanotechnology, the planet, etc.) For native speakers but probably useful for our higher levels. Could be a good resource for those of your looking for short video clips to go with the Pathways topics.
