You can't say you don't know something if haven't even tried.

I Can Change the World: using popular music to discuss social justice

This is a MUST for any GOVERNMENT teacher. I had my students memorize the song in middle school and they come back and consistently tell me they still remember the song in high school and college and that it really helps!!! Print out three pages of preview to get copy of lyrics, and a written activity with key. There is an AWFUL, but memorably AWFUL recording to go along with the PPT.

Lawmaking Process at the National Level
In December we started teaching the process by which a bill becomes a law at the national level. Because it was close to the holidays I thought it would put the process to music. I ended up with "Joy to the World! A Bill has Come!" It was fun to watch the students take the test and hear them humming the song so they would get the answer correct. They can even change a few words around and have it work for the state lawmaking process as well.
