Students Animate "Would You Drop It?" Song

In the World War II chapter of Hip-Hop U.S. History, Flocabulary raises the moral dilemma: “Would You Drop the Bomb?” But why just pontificate when you can animate? In Mr. Pitner’s U.S. History class in Arizona, students enhanced their understanding of historical issues by creating awesome animations for the song. You can view all the videos here. Thanks for sharing the videos on Twitter!

Here are some ill illustrations from 3rd period:

…and this video by 4th period has a humorous mix of animation and live action. The dance moves during the hook are key!

Wondering why the students are drawing on the whiteboard?
These videos were inspired by the RSA Animate video series. The RSA Animate videos put “live-blogging” and “live-tweeting” to shame. Instead, an artist “live-illustrates” a thought-provoking speech.

Here’s an RSA Animate video on Education Reform:
