Activity 2 - Flocabulary Oversharing
Flocaublary is video platform that includes a library of songs set to the moving rhythms of hip hop beats. If you are used to hearing your students reciting the lyrics to their favorite songs, imagine them rapping the lyrics of a song based on the concepts you are teaching as well. Throw in the fact that our district pays for Flocabulary and you've got a win-win situation on your hands! Take a look at the Flocabulary Digital Citizenship Video and some of the new tools you can use with it.

Discuss Options
Once you reach the discussion point, take a moment to have students respond to the questions.
Teacher Resources
You can find a printable document on Oversharing by clicking the Teacher Resources button. Then, click Handouts to find this document and share it with your students.
Comprehension Activities
Flocabulary now has 4 comprehension activities for each video located on the buttons to the left of the video. Use and add to the vocabulary cards by clicking the Vocab icon.
