I began this channel with videos on English Language Arts (ELA) Common Core Standards to prepare my students (both mainstream and ELLs) for standardized exams, including state Standards of Learning exams, ACT Work Keys and Workplace Documents, and high school English curriculum for grades 9 and up.
While these videos were made for teens and adults, the content covers ELA standards for earlier grades. Each video includes a link to a worksheet that students can use to take notes and answer practice questions, which are checked and explained on the video. Topics include reading, writing, and grammar lessons. I use basic language, as my goal is to deliver the content first, then add more complicated language once the content has been mastered.
I've written ELA and ELL-friendly curricula for over 25 educational programs released by publishers, including National Geographic Learning, Harcourt, Pearson, McGraw Hill-MacMillan, and many others.

How to See YouTube Transcripts - New Location!
A few months ago, UA-cam changed how to view the transcripts. The new way is much easier and more intuitive than before! See how in this video.
This video also shows you how to check whether the transcript is available in multiple languages and then view the transcript in those languages.

Thank you, the way you explain I understand now cz I was struggling to write essay
Great stuff. How do i put citations in the Essay.
Most schools require MLA format for citations. This website has detailed instructions: owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_style_introduction.html It's possible that your school requires APA, though this format is much less common: owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction.html
Here are my comments for all 4 parts. 4 x 1000 thanks. Clear, Concise, Complete. I enjoyed watching and reading the PDFs. All the best wishes!
Truly, this video is a piece of work! Thanks a lot. 😊

Thank you so much!!! Unfortunately auto-translation doesn't work for auto-generated transcripts (especially to Norwegian), but you can always copy text portion by portion to Google translate. But!... I found a better way thankful to your video, now I can both turn on the auto-translation to my target language and the transcript on the right side and have both!!!
Thank you for helping us 🫶🏻💖💖
Finally, the most easy to understund and to do
