ReplyDeleteThis video was teaching children that it is okay to share. When you share it makes you happy and other people happy. When you don't share you can get angry and sad.

This video is about sharing. If you share then everyone gets a turn with the bike and no one feels left out.

The moral of the video was that there are a bunch of different shades of skin in the world, and that we all have our own skin tone. Sometimes the people around us have a different shade than we do, but it's okay because we all have skin. If we get a booboo on our skin, it will heal.

This video is probably meant to teach kids how to talk and say sounds, in this case the letter "G". They spend the entire vid singing about the letter of the day clearly attempting to provoke the audience to say the letter of the day.

The video I chose to watchhow skin is something everyone has. It states that no matter what color your skin is we all have it so we are all the same. A parent may show their child this because children will look at all races to be equal not one is greater than the other.

My video was about sharing a bicycle between the Cookie Monster and Herry. They are fighting and Kermit tells them that both of them can use it. I think parents would want them to see this so kids learn to not fight but to strategize a way to share some equally and everyone is happy.

The Beautiful Skin Song is about accepting your own skin (the color of it) and accepting other people's skin. It's about tying all skin colors together instead of making them different. They are trying to diminish racism.

This video is about raising your hand when you ask/say something in school because it is the polite thing to do

The beautiful skin video is encouraging young viewers to take pride in their skin color. This video also informs the watcher that there are different kinds of skin colors and that this is normal.

The moral of this video is to try and teach children how to share. It's also showing them the importance of taking turns.
ReplyDeleteTaylor LaChance
The video I watched taught children about sharing. It's good to learn this skill early because it will make you more generous later in life.

This video showed the importance of sharing. Cookie monster and the other guy both wanted the bike and were fighting over it so Kermit showed them how to share the bike. So they both ate the bike together and everyone was happy.

I watched the "Beautiful Skin Song" this video's purpose is to teach children that diversity is good and that the color of someone's skin doesn't make them bad, it's just a color.Hannah S.
ReplyDeleteI watched the video about raising your hand in school. It has a very clear message that if you wait your turn, eventually you will be heard.
ReplyDeleteJacob Moulton
The moral of the story is that if you break something you should fix it. Even if you do mess up or break something you should always at least try fix what happened.
