The Rainforest Song by JP Taylor
This is a great song if you are doing a Greenhouse Effect or Global warming class. The song can be easily found on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrcU514z6nM).

For online classes this template works to allow students to introduce themselves to each other and the teacher. Family was left off since the group I planned to use it for might have had some family issues but it is editable. Remove "drink" for example and put in family.
