Great site, Sue. Thanks so much!
Youtube is great but needs a lot of filtering! I just showed
two videos and asked students to compare and contrast. This
was for French III reading and writing. But the music and
silliness appealed to students, too. Plus we learned a bit
about rugby.
One: "Fais la poule."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSsOtf5qlxg. It's silly! Good
for vocabulary (métro, ferme, la méteo). You can get words
online by googling.
Second one is "Cocorico." There's a little drunkenness at the
beginning that might be a problem. Students told me it was a
little dorky but very catchy.

There was a great stop-mation on crêpes, but I lost it.... sigh.
