It all started last July when I saw a 14-second video showing a father and his daughter dancing next to their swimming pool. I found the two of them awesome !
It did not take me long to find out the song they were dancing to in the video : The Git-Up, by Blanco Brown. I started paying attention to the lyrics and quickly realized that I could use the song and teach my ESL students (8th grade) a few things.
Finally, I thought the song would be a good way to create cohesion and unity at the beginning of the school year. The song also allows students to be active in the classroom !!
Un grand merci aux parents et aux élèves pour l’autorisation de publication !

Finally, students can give their opinions about the song.
Here is how the lesson was presented to the students :
So, who’s in for a Christmas version ? :)
