My Third Minilesson

For my third minilesson I found this great video online to use, and, after some trial and error with my first attempt to use technology in the classroom, I actually got it to work. It was this great little ditty about the five themes of geography done in the style of rap. We watched the video as a class and then I led them into group work using what they had learned from the video to help them answer a series of questions. As I walked around to supervise their progress, I heard one student in the back singing "Five themes of geography, we've got five themes of geography" in tune to the song! It made my day.
