Music Monday #24...

"Surfin' USA" by The Beach Boys
*To celebrate our last week before our much anticipated spring break, I chose this song.
*I wanted to pick an old classic and "go back" in time.
*This song still appeals to my young listeners and it is fun to tell them how far it goes back.
*The music, the words, and the images get us all in the mood for a spring break.  



Step One:  Watch the video
Step Two:  Class discussion about the video and what the message is
