John Henry Songs

We have been learning about tall tales in Reading. We recently watched a YouTube clip on John Henry, read the story, and watched the DVD. The students then had to summarize John Henry's life by making up a song. They had to choose a tune for the song that everyone in the group would know. It is interesting to see what type of music they choose as it really shows their personalities. This group chose Boom Boom Pow by the Black-Eyed Peas.
