When I was doing fieldwork in a fifth grade class in Hamden, the teacher played this really catchy tune for her students that I'll never forget! It's a rap about the five elements of writing. I loved it so much I want to use it with my own students. Check it out here!
The Flocabulary site offers a lot of other songs/videos to use in your classroom. It's really a great resource. Fun, too!
Diana, last year, when I was working in an inner city middle school, flocabulary was everywhere! Teachers and students both loved it. It definitely is an effective medium for classes where students would rather be rapping and breakdancing than studying.
