Schoolhouse Rock Fill-In the blank
I have typed up the lyrics to 3 of the history songs (No More Kings, Shot Heard Round the World and the Preamble) but have removed certain words. My students watch the video once and then fill in the lyrics as we listen a second (and sometimes third) time to the song.

Rap- World War I: The 4 Causes:::::M.A.I.N
This song is based off the hit 90's song Regulators by Warren G and Nate Dogg. I kind did a Weird Al parody with it where the lyrics match up with the original song. It works best if you have another person performing it for you, and if you are familiar with the original song so hit the switches.
The song focuses on militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism.
If you get this done right, you will be a hit!
