[starts with no sound, silent pictures of Truman, staff, then sound when Truman gives speech] "Early in the A.M. President Harry S. Truman leaves Blair House, his new temporary home, and briskly walks to the White House. Mathew J. Connelly, his confidential secretary, and Leonard Reinsch, his press and radio relations man, are busy at their tasks. The President nominates John W. Snyder, St. Louis banker, to become Federal Loan Administrator. Mr. Truman confers with the U.S. delegates to the forthcoming Golden Gate conference, then later, in the presence of Congressional leaders, he signs a bill extending Lend Lease. 348 members of the press, a record number, crowd into his office to attend his first press conference. In the evening, the President goes on the air, to talk to U.S. service men all over the world. He explains he is an ex-serviceman, and that he is carrying on, as the entire country expects them to do."

There's no room to be proper when you live in a house full of boys, in the rainiest state on earth, on a farm that's always on the edge of disaster.

In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "God Went to Beauty School" by Cynthia Rylant. Summary--Some people might call "God Went to Beauty School" a book about God, but don't be so quick to categorize this collection of poetry. Sure, the humor and surprise in these poems often come from the fact that Cynthia Rylant has chosen to imagine the everyday details of this world from the perspective of the Divine. But these poems are also about new ways of seeing—and about how a creator might celebrate his work. In other words, you don't need to be remotely religious to enjoy Rylant's poetry, but don't be surprised if it leaves you feeling downright divine. This is a great resource to entice and encourage upper grade readers. (1:25)

In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "John Riley's Daughter" by Kezi Matthews. Can everything change forever in just three days? For thirteen-year-old Memphis Riley, the answer is yes—yes, and yes, and yes. Everything can change forever—in the moment when her mother dies, and in the moment when her father leaves her on the steps of her grandmother's house, and in the moment when her mentally-handicapped Aunt Clover disappears without a trace. "John Riley's Daughter" chronicles the three days following the last incident, as the little town of Blue Parrot searches for missing Clover and the threads of Memphis's life start to unravel. One thing's for sure: Nothing will ever be the same for Memphis—or for her family—again. This is a great resource for motivating upper grade readers. (1:23)

Ah yes, autumn. The leaves turn colorful shades of oranges and reds, you can break out your comfy sweaters, go apple picking, or jump in piles of leaves. For many Americans, the season culminates in Thanksgiving, when families get together and gorge on turkey and pie, watch football, and go to parades complete with giant floats of well-known cartoons. But did you know Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving? Let’s take a look at the ways Canadian Thanksgiving differs from its neighbor to the south. (06:01)

When you picture the lowest levels of the food chain, you might imagine herbivores happily munching on lush, living green plants. But this idyllic image leaves out a huge (and slightly less appetizing) source of nourishment: dead stuff. John C. Moore details the "brown food chain," explaining how such unlikely delicacies as pond scum and animal poop contribute enormous amounts of energy to our ecosystems. (03:50)
