Positive Points in Pop Culture

I came across this video and thought it was really cool. Maybe if more history teachers were like this I'd actually enjoy history class. (ha) It was refreshing and interesting to see a twist on learning history facts. The teacher who made this video encouraged her students to find history facts relevant to what they were learing at the time anywhere in pop culture. It could be a song on the radio, a cartoon they like to watch, anything from pop culture that mentioned something from history was ok, even if it was considered a "bad" or "uneducational" cartoon. When they had tests in class they were suposed to write down a fact that they found and they would get extra credit on the test for it. I just thought it was cool and the kids seemed to really like the idea as well. Not everything in pop culture has to have a negativity about it...it's nice to find a way to bring some positive things from those that seem to always get a negative rep.
