Learning the French Revolution with Lady Gaga: Teachers sing history lessons
Imagine learning about the French Revolution through a videotaped musical parody of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” Or about Leonardo da Vinci via a version of The Beatles' "Dear Prudence" as performed by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Or about Mary, Queen of Scots by way of “Jenny from the Block” by Jennifer Lopez. Teachers in Hawaii have found a way to get around the common student complaint that history is dry and boring.
