Would be great to have student listen to the words and try to figure what it is all about. (versus just telling them!)

25 years experience or 25 years old?? That is a great pic, you are SO pretty!
Anyhow, thanks so much for sharing the link to the Apologize video. I teach math, but will show it to my students the next time we meet. This year we have new requirements before they are allowed to sit for the GED and one of those is an academic research project. Instead of the usual 5-page paper with bibliography, I'd love to see some of them team up and make a video like this. I've seen some lovely math/music videos created by students and think this is so much more exciting and would motivate and engage my students in a way that typing up a paper never could.
You are very sweet, Doreen. You need to put in a profile pic, too!
A music video can be great fun if you can get them to write the script and storyboard. I showed some kids some basic video editing techniques once in a middle school. And from that short 2 hour demonstration, they did a video book report (reenactment) of All Quiet on the Western Front. It was AMAZING! Better than the original movie. I cried when I saw it! So proud of them! It got in the paper. (Now I'll have to go on YouTube and see if they ever uploaded it. Not sure YouTube existed back then!)
