Thing 7

I like You-tube for some things. I use it in school for a few different projects. In one class we look first at the lyrics and then the video for the song titled "Where is the Love" by the Black Eye Peas. We use it as a springboard for a discussion on advocacy and ways to get a message across to others. This class then writes their own rap, poem or song with an anti drug use message. Sometimes they use Youtube to search for instrumental music to play in the background to further grab the attention of their audience. In another grade level I have shown Taylor Mali's, "Speak with Conviction". It helps us discuss the importance of saying what you believe in. We discuss how speaking with conviction helps a person encourage another person to do the right thing.
