I have all of his songs on my iPod....and when I listen to them, I feel like I'm here:
They are easy, breezy, fun, laid back....perfect for spring and summer listening. Jack has a kid's CD called Jack Johnson and Friends: Sing a-longs from the movie Curious George. This album has a track called "The 3 Rs". A perfect selection for the upcoming Earth Day celebration!
So after we've talked about ways to "go green", and how to reduce, reuse and recycle....I play this song for them and we brainstorm how we are going to make our music video. Working in groups, students came up with actions, dance moves (they are pretty sweet!), and what things we wanted to teach the audience about going green. I filmed the students in front of a "green screen", did the magic on iMovie and *voila*! We produced our very own music video! We played this for the whole school during lunch on Earth Day and all of the grades LOVED it!
You can view the video at my old website HERE. This site is no longer updated, I'm using my blog instead. My dog makes a special appearance at the end. :)
I will post details and step by step instructions of how I did the green screen effects another time.
I hope you forwarded this video to Jack Johnson himself. It is fabulous. I'm going to post on my site and link to you! Awesome. I would love to hear more about how you made the video and how to access a green screen. cheryl.saoud@yahoo.com

This causes a postponement in the handling and will imply that they will more than likely not be endorsed for the advance they require. check cashing
ReplyDeleteMake a rundown of no less than 7-8 online moneylenders and think about advance quotes. Take as much time as necessary. Pick a loan specialist that guarantees moment endorsements without forcing inflexible terms and conditions. When you are fulfilled by the quote, arrange well with the supplier to show signs of improvement arrangement. payday loans chicago
