History As Popular Music
In an attempt to make history more accessible to students, the group behind Youtube channel historyteachers has remade a number of popular songs into history lessons. You can decide for yourself if the videos help you to remember the facts, but you know you needed to hear about the French Revolution to the tune Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance today.

scottr21 8 months agoBeen a fan of these guys for a couple years, and have used their videos in my World History class. My 6th graders particularly liked the Henry VIII one, as well as one not listed here, “The Black Plague” (based on “Sexyback” by Justin Timberlake). Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
