Thing #20

For this post I chose to use a School House Rock video for "Interjections".  Anybody that knows me knows I LOVE School House Rock!  I have loved it ever since I was a kid and I use it a lot.  In fact, I just used the video for "Nouns" for my lesson plan in my instructional strategies class.  My daughter loves the videos, as well.  When I was in eighth grade my teachers played them for everything from language arts to social studies.  To this day, whenever I have to recite the preamble to the Constitution of the United States (which surprisingly is not that often!), I can't do it without singing the School House Rock version in my head! 

I think YouTube is a great tool to use for teachers to find videos to enhance their lessons.  The only drawback to it is there are some videos that can give your computer a virus, so you have to be careful of what you click on.
