Well, I am still sick, and am staying home from work today, not talking. I have a performance tonight, two tomorrow, and one on Sunday. I am just hoping my voice can hold out. But I have been productive this afternoon, editing the song and video my students and I made. They are so awesome, and I am honored to share this work with you. The Mood Song is about various moods (and forms) that verbs can take: Indicative, Subjunctive, and so on. These are hard concepts even for adults, so two years ago, some students thought we should write a song to help people remember them. They started with the first version of the lyrics, but sadly, we never recorded it. This year, we dug out the lyrics and some current students and I added to them and finalized them. Then we set about recording and filming. Here are the results. I know it is technically not just my song, but I worked hard on helping them realize this vision, so I feel it is appropriate to share here. Plus, they said it would be okay. So here you go with the first of the December/November Songs of the Month: The Mood Song! Enjoy!
