Thing # 20 Teachertube imbedded

TeacherTube offers this hilarious, entertaining and short vignette on the six wives of Henry VIII, great for piquing interest in Tudor history. It starts out with Homer Simpson as one of those bad parodies of Henry singing "I'm Henry the 8th I am, Henry the 8th I am ...," and then before the students realize what's happening, they are getting an overview of his six wives, his reasons for marrying them, and their fates.





Over and over again, the value of videos in teaching concepts in a more painless manner cannot be overemphasized.







Not bad.
