lol. There used to be a Web site that had all of the clips available. I was going to send the link to the grammar rock noun song as the non-text content for the lyrics...instead I guess we'll all have to buy the video: http://shopping.yahoo.com/shop?d=v&id=1800231299&cf=product&clink=dmvi-br&up c=760894709136 for those of you not familiar with schoolhouse rock - animated songs that teach about society, grammar, and other stuff. My favorite is "adjective." I often use it in a teaching exercise. I make people write captions and audio descriptions for it. --wendy At 06:43 PM 7/30/01 , Kynn Bartlett wrote: >At 03:40 PM 7/30/2001 , Wendy A Chisholm wrote: > >A concrete concept is a person, place or thing. > >Well every person you can know, >And every place that you can go, >And any thing that you can show, >You know they're nouns. > >A noun's a special kind of word, >It's any name you ever heard. >I find it quite interesting, >A noun's a person, place or thing. > >Oh I took a train, took a train, >To another state. >The flora and the fauna that I saw were really great. >But when I saw some bandits chasing the train, >I was wishing I was back home again. >I took a train, took a train, >To another state. > >Well every person you can know... ><Like a bandit or an engineer.> >And every place that you can go... ><Like a state or a home.> >And any thing that you can show... ><Like animals and plants or a train.> >You know they're nouns >You know they're nouns, oh! > >Mrs. Jones is a lady on Hudson Street. >She sent her dog to bark at my brother and me. >We gave her dog a big fat bone, >And now he barks at Mrs. Jones. >She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street. > >Well every person you can know... ><Mrs. Jones, a lady or a brother.> >And every place that you can go... ><Like a street or a corner.> >And anything that you can show... ><Like a dog or a bone.> >Well you know they're nouns >You know they're nouns, oh! > >I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. >My best friend was waiting there for me. >(He took an early ferry.) >We went for a walk on the island you know, >And in the middle of summer it started to snow when... >I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. > >Well every person you can know... ><Like a friend or the captain of a ship.> >And every place that you can go... ><An island or a sea.> >And anything that you can show... ><Like a statue, a ferry or snow.> >Well you know they're nouns >You know they're nouns, oh! > >I put a dime in the drugstore record machine. >Oldie-goldies started playing - you know what I mean. >I heard Chubby Checker, he was doing the twist, >And the Beatles and the Monkees >It goes like this. >I put a dime in the drugstore record machine. > >Well every person you can know... ><The Beatles and the Monkees; Chubby Checker.> >And every place that you can go... ><Like a neighborhood or a store.> >And anything that you can show... ><Like a dime or a record machine.> >Well you know they're nouns. > >A noun's a special kind of word, >It's any name you ever heard. >I find it quite interesting, >A noun's a person, place or thing. > >A noun is a person, place or thing. > >--Kynn > >-- >Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> >Technical Developer Liaison >Reef North America >Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network >Tel +1 949-567-7006 >________________________________________ >BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
