Here are two music videos. One produced by EL Haynes, the high achieving charter school founded by Jennie Niles and located in NW Washington DC. The second video is produced by Young Money Entertainment, the high dollar earning record label founded by Lil Wayne and based in New Orleans, LA. What do you think about this as a way to motivate students to perform on the DC CAS? The first video that is.
Thanks to V-Rah for sharing this, and props to TFA DC '03 alum Brigham Kiplinger featured in the video. The CAS Rock video that is.

If anyone knows how I can save a you tube video to a flash drive, I would gladly appreciate it. I think my kids would get a huge kick out of this.
ReplyDeleteWould it help on their tests?
I think so, it's all about the hype they create ALL year long and this is just the climax. Now, if kids don't do well, it's not that they don't want to..it's just that they are not there yet.
I agree with the hype. You can get kids to be all in to just about anything. I like to make my students chant things. Seriously. One time, I got them to chant, "I love peas!" because I wanted them to try peas. To this day, each one of them informs me when he/she eats a pea. Although such cheap tricks probably mostly just work on kindergarteners.
