A colleague of mine sent this to me today: History For Music Lovers. Don't worry, these aren't the songs about Mayday and English maypoles. My favorite (I'm biased on both accounts) is the Lady Gaga French Revolution song. These could be great to assign as a homework for preview or wrapping up a unit. I mean, what student wouldn't do homework that consisted only of watching a YouTube video? They spend a great deal of time there, anyway!
One caveat is that it's important to watch the video as well as listen, since sometimes it is difficult to decipher the words (it includes closed captioning in the video).
