Anchored Instruction

Anchored Instruction involves using video situations to "anchor" curriculum activities in. An example could be using words from a movie script to develop vocabulary and spelling exercises. Another example could be developing a social studies activity around a historical video. Here are two articles on anchored instruction, as well as a link to anchored instruction activities using movie trailers.
