Connections...they are so important in our growth, academics, and relationships. Music is a powerful way to forge and strengthen connections. This video clip is from a TV show called Between the Lions. My students remember (or at least have heard of) the show. Many have even seen this video, "The Homophone Song."
When they watch this video and learn the lyrics, they are deepening their understanding of homophones in a pressure-free way. I have used this clip in a variety of ways: to tap into background knowledge, to kick off an extension activity, to reteach the concept, etc. I used it just last week during a tutoring session.
Warning: This clip has the tendency to induce it's-stuck-in-my-head experiences.
Thanks for the warning :)
