Not Right For WatchKnowLearn
WatchKnowLearn ratings are intentionally harsher than what you might find on YouTube, for example. Most of our videos have been imported by people who want to use them with kids, not by the creators of the videos. We take a hard-nosed attitude toward quality. Four and five stars should be reserved for really excellent quality. Three stars isn't bad. Two is often watchable and shouldn't be ruled out.

  • 5 stars = Exemplary.
    Unusually helpful and well produced. Do not overuse this, please; it is not the standard rating for decent work, as it is elsewhere.
  • 4 stars = Very Good.
    Very helpful but not among the very best; adequately produced, at least.
  • 3 stars = Usable.
    Reasonably helpful, perhaps a bit amateurish in production or has some other problem; there is nothing wrong with a 3-star rating for amateur work!
  • 2 stars = Some Merit.
    Minimally helpful; not completely worthless or inappropriate; you can see how it might be useful to some people.
  • 1 star = Not Right for WatchKnowLearn.
    Not at all helpful, not educational, poorest quality, etc.; you can't see it being useful to anyone.

From YouTube, produced by Northwest Notebook
 

Northwest Notebook host Ty Ray interviews actress/author Jamie Lee Curtis about her children's books and other subjects.  Jamie Lee Curts talks about why she thinks her books have been so successful, how the books talk about things that happen in real life, such as competition, moods, feelings, self esteem, and  lose and letting go.   She also talks about how she draws upon her experiences as a mother to help her write her books.  She discusses how the story is written and then the illustrator does her job.  The interviewer asks which she enjoys more, being an actor or a children’s author.  She answers that she enjoys being an author more.  Video is of good quality and would be a good video to show for an author study.  Video is appropriate for elementary school children in second grade through fifth grade.
