Since she is using someone else's classroom as her trial class, it is very likely she is a student teacher or someone who is completing a video lesson for a college course. In either case, she will be very thorough in the lesson, thereby taking longer than what some people may deem necessary. The method seemed effective.
a drunk parent could be violent - so far, no one has objected on the definition itself. Violent does not mean "able to destroy a building." At least, that is not the whole definition.
MAny words have multiple definitions and contexts of use. "violent" is no exception. She is obviously teaching the definition here as it relates to a powerfully damaging event. Maybe the children are already famiiar with the definition relating to people inflicting harm. Or maybe she covered that aspect before or after the video clip. OR maybe the class was specifically about vocabulary relating to disasters, in which case talking about other definitions in other contents would be distracting and not-necessary. When YOU say "Violent does not mean "able to destroy a building," you are completely wrong. Read more books on a wide range of topics if you want to improve your English vocabulary.
seriously ssuz1, you think a whole vocabulary lesson is 5 minutes? The lesson was likely 30 minutes or longer and multiple words would have been introduced, they've just presented one in this clip. You think five minutes is 'dragging on'? Children need repetition to learn. Remember, you know the definition of violent, so you don't need to re-learn it - learning something for the first time is very different.
Violent does not mean strong enough to damage buildings. This should be used as part of the explanation. A student could be asked if anyone has ever been violent towards them and this would be confusing. My mom smacks me around, but she is not strong enough to damage a building so she must not be violent. This is a bad lesson in my opinion.

She only taught one word? A whole vocabulary lesson uses multiple words usually. I know she's using Madelin Hunter, but I don't like the way the lesson is dragging on with one word.

Which is exactly the lesson I want to teach a group of kids. You also don't know what subject is being taught.

they are talking about violent as it pertains to storms in a science unit. not the word violent in general.
