Mr. Morton – Extra Credit Opportunity

October 23, 2010 | Posted in: Class Updates

In class, we have been learning about the differences between subjects and predicates.  The classic School House Rock! cartoon-song “The Tale of Mr. Morton” was a big help!  Today in class, we watched a new version of the Mr. Morton video which offered new animations and new music.  Both taught the same skills, but they definitely had their own unique qualities.  For your viewing pleasure, here are the two versions:

ORIGINAL VERSION

NEW VERSION

I offered an optional homework assignment to the kids:  Anyone who chooses to compare and contrast the two versions of the video will earn a marble for our class.  Due Monday morning, and again, TOTALLY optional!
