Kayla's Youtube Video for American History

Kayla rewrote the lyrics to Men at Work's Who Can It Be Now and created a youtube video. How did you complete the assignment? Will we see your work of art online too?

I am LOVING this, Kayla. You have identified some universal themes in this song, and reinterpreted the song to teach a bit of American history. So cool.

The video is very well done--the pictures change exactly in time with the music (not always easy to do). I especially appreciated the slide about listening to the sax--I HEARD it because of the slide. I'm wondering what program you used to make the video--perhaps Microsoft Movie Maker?

My only suggestion to improve it a bit would be to add some credits. I'd like to know the name of the musical group/singer; and YOUR name should be listed as the director. Blow your own horn on this. You did a GREAT job.

(BTW, I am a language arts teacher from Florida)

Kayla, I was wondering if I could steal you away and come teach my 8th grade Technology class how you made this video. I am amazed!!!!

Kayla,

This video is great! My fifth grade class is learning about Columbus right now. This would be perfect! Did you create this through Animoto or some other program?

Debra, I think Kayla made this using Widnows Movie Maker.

Hi Kayla,

I'm echoing the above accolades to you, and think Holly has a great idea about adding credits.

I like the creativity you used in your social studies assignment, and the fact that it's shared online.

Kind regards,
