Week 8-Video

I think it's important to use upbeat things like this video to teach. Subjects like history can be boring for kids and by using songs it gets them interested. I think this video is a good way to reinforce what you've been teaching in class or to introduce something that you might be talking about. It's good to introduce kids to famous people and events and this video is one way to show them a lot of events at once. Then when you teach them about it, they've heard of it so they have some kind of background knowledge or an image to draw from. I know that when I've never heard of something before it's harder for me to learn about it but when I've at least heard of it or seen it then it makes it easier to learn about and I'm more interested.
