One popular streaming recently has been the Decorah Eagles and the hatching of their eggs. **= = = =** I have used this website in class to find interviews on the Civil Rights Movement that we watched while reading __The Watson's Go to Birmingham.__ It was great for the students to see an interview of someone who lived through the Civil Rights Movement and experienced some of the events that happened in the book. **= =** ﻿ **= = = =** ﻿This website is free and only requires for you to sign up in order to access all of the available streams.
