Silly Music For Halloween #1 uh wella...saw the thing acomin' outta da sky..

 

He's not purple!

Need a little fun break filled with art, music, performance art and laughter? Here you go.

The class can read the lyrics, analyze the story. Discovering the true nature of the purple people eater, then draw a cartoon action version, sing along with motions, learn 50s' dance moves (no, not theTwist, that was the 60s, more like the Bop.)  Silly. We need silly sometimes.

 

One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx47qrH1GRs 

The Purple People Eater

Well, I saw the thing
A comin' out of the sky
It had a one long horn
And a one big eye
I commenced to shakin'
And I said "oohwee
It looks like a Purple
People Eater to me"

It was a one-eyed, one-horned
Flyin' Purple People Eater
One-eyed, one-horned
Flyin' Purple People Eater
Sure looked strange to me
One eye

Well, he came down to earth
And he lit in a tree
I said, "Mister Purple People Eater,
Don't eat me"
I heard him say
In a voice so gruff,
I wouldn't eat you
Cause you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned
Flyin' Purple People Eater
One-eyed, one-horned
Flyin' Purple People Eater
One-eyed, one-horned
Flyin' purple people Eater
Sure looked strange to me
One horn

I said, "Mister Purple People Eater,
What's your line?"
He said,
Eatin' purple people,
And it sure is fine.
What is the reason
That you came to land
I wanna get a job
In a rock 'n roll band

Well, bless my soul, rock 'n roll
Flyin' Purple People Eater
Pigeon-toed, under-growed
Flyin' Purple People Eater
He wears short shorts
A friendly little People Eater
What a sight to see
Oooohhh
And then he swung from the tree
And he lit on the ground
And he started to rock,
A-really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty
With a swingin' tune, singin'
Bop bapa loop a lap
A loom bam boom
Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll
Flyin' Purple People Eater
Pigeon-toed, under-growed
Flyin' Purple People Eater
I like short shorts
A Flyin' Purple People Eater
What a sight to see
Purple people

Well, he went on his way
And then what-a you know
I saw him last night
On a TV show
He was blowin' it out,
Really knockin' 'em dead
Playin' rock 'n roll music
Through the horn on his head
Boogie woogie

50 Challenging Activities To Promote Digital Media Literacy In Students

Intrinsic Motivation is Key to Student Achievement – But Schools Can Crush It

https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/53337/intrinsic-motivation-is-key-to-student-achievement-but-schools-can-crush-it

One of the key components of engagement is students’ 

excitement about what they learn. Yet most schools 

extinguish that excitement.

It all comes down to motivation. In many schools, 

students do their work because their teachers tell them

 to. Or because they need to do it to get a certain grade. 

For students like Destiny, getting a good grade and 

outshining their peers – not learning itself – becomes 

the goal of school. For other students, they need 

minimum grades to be on sports teams or participate 

in extracurricular activities or please their parents, 

and that becomes their motivation. Students who do 

their work because they’re genuinely interested in 

learning the material are few and far between.

Why Tweet?

http://blog.mimio.com/why-tweet

In many schools, finding this time can be a huge challenge. Even if teachers can find the time to meet and talk, sometimes the group is not cohesive or collaborative enough to be very productive. And other times, they might not have a person in the school who teaches the same content or grade level. Teachers who want to plan and collaborate may have few, if any, options.

One teacher on Reddit said, “I wish my administration would visit my classroom more frequently to get to know my teaching style and get to know my students.” Another teacher on social media responded, “Administration can help support me by actually coming into my classroom more than once a year.” The majority of teachers feel abandoned and want more face time with their administration.
