«Jazz Greats At Their Best Teaching Kids!»
Bob Dorrough and Blossom Dearie, among others at their best...sharing their great musical talents with kids in this School House Rock! Grammar Rock edition.
This didn't come on the air until I was older so I missed the whole SHR phenomenom but I know people who did grow up with it and they loved it. I can see why.
Dig it! It's good.

«Carr's Critics Give 4 stars»
From Mrs. Carr's third period: This video was entertaining because the songs were catchy and easy to sing along with. The video helped us review the parts of speech and compare the differences between them. We were able to absorb the information while listening to the songs. The cartoons were really vivid and colorful, which made them stand out. Overall this video took us back to our elementary school days when we would all watch it in class. Conjunction Junction was a favorite. The rhyming and rhythm were very appealing. Mr. Morton was not very good, however, at explaining the information about sentences. It just gave examples and didn't really explain it. It seemed like it was too short.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's watching School House Rock. My favorites have always been "Interjection," "Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here," "Unpack Your Adjectives." Today, I teach College Prep Writing at a community college, and I introduce my students to the parts of speech with this video. And when I do, I always hear the comments from the back of the room, "Oh my God, she's even singing along." These songs work wonders even for adults. Later on, when we get more in depth, all I have to say is "Lolly Lolly" and students start singing themselves.
