It has been a while since I used Flocabulary regularily, but recently, I have been using the SMARTboards more and more and one of the things I like to do at the end of the day with Middle Schoolers before planners and clean-up is show a short video.
Of course, I prefer educational videos, but also videos they will enjoy. Luckily, Flocabulary is both of those things.
There are a number of education rap videos available for free, and many more for members. You can do a 14 day free trial to access these videos. Also, a few are available on youtube.
They do a week in rap video most weeks that talks about current events (though it is American based) but also has Socials Studies, Language Arts, Math and Science videos.
Check out their site, there are so many cool videos. My students love them and sing them throughout the day. They know their Parts of Speech, Elements of a Short Story and Prefixes very well now because they rap and sing the song from Flocabulary!
One of my favourites is 'Five Things: Elements of a Short Story':
A place to share my experiences as a TTOC and Middle School Teacher. Resources, ideas and important issues in education.
