Making Curriculum Pop

Detroit is responsible for Motown, techno, the late great beat master J-Dilla, Eminem, and now, perhaps for the teacher set ... Mr. Duey

Ordinarily, this resource would be the domain of the popular music group but since the tunes are so fun- and designed for so many disciplines as a rap Schoolhouse Rock - I'm positing the resource in multiple groups.

I did buy Mr. Duey's first CD, “Class Dis-Missed” and many of the teachers I worked with loved teaching with his stuff. His work seems aimed all the core curricula in grades 5-11.

Here's a sample song "Fractions" - dig it.

I'm sure many of you will enjoy teaching with these tunes. The cool thing is that his first album was released with lyrics and as an instrumental album so kids can rap over the beats in class.

The tracklisting on “Class Dis-Missed” gives you a sense of the scope of Mr. Duey's work:

Math Songs
Fractions
Point Plotting
Greatest Common Factor / L.C.M.
Integers
Measurement

Language Arts Songs
Nouns
Verbs
Adjectives
Essays

Science Songs
State of Matter
3 Rocks
Cells
Atoms

Social Studies
Latitude / Longitude
Democratic Values
Branches of Govt.
Things Changed

In the spirit of Mr. Duey...my favorite song about how to conjugate verbs in Spanish by a teacher in Ohio: http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=25683&title=C...
Anne, can you post that as a discussion forum post in our, presently tiny, Modern Language group. Tres Cool!

RRG:)
No problem...I also found another one about "Me gusta" but I think you might have a problem with that one since Michigan is involved!
