"Old Black Fly" as a song!
When I first bought this wonderful book by Jim Aylesworth I always heard the words to the old gospel tune "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho". I decided to create a brand new recording to be used as a Sing-a-Long book with students of all ages where the students respond with the words "Shoo fly shoo fly shoo". It is recorded at 110 mm so it isn't too fast to sing! Enjoy!

JabberAuditions
This is an ingenious audio sketch in which a flustered director is casting for a reading of Jabberwocky with the most random candidates possible. Each participant steps forward to read his stanza in awkward, silly and entertaining styles. By the end, we hear the full performance with each speaker giving his all for the crowd.
The vocals are unusual and filled with aural hooks and references for the auditory learned to seize upon, enjoy and connect. The nearly 13 minutes goes through the entir

Use this flipchart to let your students pull out a character, setting, and event for their story. There are about 25 of each character, setting, and event in each of the cups and the flipchart will easily reset when you are finished. My students love using this for writing ideas.

"Praise the Farmers" and original song
During the Harvest Season I couldn't find a song that celebrated farmers and their importance to our future. There were the old political songs of my youth but they were long outdated.
For years I sang 'Old MacDonald had a Farm', and 'The Farmer in the Dell' but this year it wasn't enough so I write this original melody. The visual for the book can also be found on this site.
This Mp3 file has me singing the song as a guide and then a clean performance track following so you can use it with yo

Frankenstein Chapter 4 Excerpt - Audio
This is part of 8th Grade ELA's first unit! This excerpt is meant to expose our students to this type of complex language. That being said, it's hard for them to comprehend and their eyes glaze over SO FAST! I figured I'd record it in a fun accent for kids to listen to and keep them engaged. Here is a recording for the chapter 4 excerpt of Frankenstein - done in an American Stage Standard/British accent. It's not perfect, but it's something different to keep your kids engaged. Hope it helps! I'd

Jabberwocky LIVE!
A companion to the "JabberAuditions" recording (also available on this store), this is the section of the final performance of the several "actors." It runs 2:38 and is a great tool to distribute to your scholars who are learning the poem. They can load it onto their devices and listen repeatedly.
The speakers in the recording are weird and funny and their speech has a great many "hooks" and textures for your auditory learners to use as they adopt the poem into their minds.
