Rosa sat song for Obama
This worksheet accompanies the song "Rosa sat" written for Obama�s election, and you can find the song and video on youtube. I usually just put the names on the board first (Rosa - Martin -Obama) and see what the students can imagine, then help them create the chorus of the song, then watch the video, then give them the worksheet.
Hope you enjoy ...
