the Mom song
I loved doing this with my students. It can be used with the video on You Tube with a woman singing this in an opera fashion to William Tell Ouverture. It concerns family, it is perfect for teenagers, pure grammar in disguise...It is pure joy to listen to her and teenagers really get a kick out of it...
