Check out this rap video! It's about the five elements of a story and it's SO catchy! I could totally see myself playing this for kids in my elementary class.
i think that video is pretty cool. i am sure that any child would rather listen and watch a music video that will stimulate their senses to remember the five elements rather than being taught the five elements from a textbook.
I remember doing fieldwork in a 5th grade class and the teacher played this very song on a CD and the kids loved it! It's a catchy tune and it's true (as research even proves) that one remembers information better, and for a longer time, if it's delivered in some sort of song.
I agree. My french professor in college taught us a song to help remember some conjugations and I will remember that much longer than I will ever remember just reading about it. I feel that music is a great way for kids to learn and is a resource that is not tapped into enough.
I love it! I will definitely use this with my students! Thanks so much for sharing. In one of my remedial reading classes at Fairfield, another classmate shared youtubes from another site called Between the Lions or something similar. You might want to check it out!
