Technology has made it easier than ever to stay current on news and
events from all around the world. Even though technology is taking over
every aspect of our life, it seems as if many students are still
disconnected and unaware of major current events that take place. A simple easy
way to keep them up to date on a weekly basis can be done by using Flocabulary.
They take the headlines from all around the world and put them into a
short fresh eye catching rap. (Usually between 2-3 minutes) I like to
use it to start discussion on Fridays in my Economics and Government classes. It could also be used to generate ideas for a short writing assignment in ELA classrooms. They also
offer other free rap videos on various topics as well as a paid subscription
service for even more videos.
