Making Curriculum Pop

The puppeteer Kevin Clash is one of the most creative people I have ever met. He was a keynote at the Teach, Think, Play 2009 conference we hosted at Columbia and his ad lib had the entire audience in tears laughing. 

This first clip would be a great way to talk with older elementary kids about creating character.  How do they make sure Elmo always sounds like a 3-and-a-half-year-old? 


If you're just watching for fun - you might start the clip around 4:45 where Elmo talks about the housing crisis.

Also, if you've never seen these two - check out Elmo with Ricky Gervais (from the British Office)...



What is your favorite Elmo clip for teaching?
