"Canada in my Pocket" by Michael Mitchell

I thought that this song would be a great way to integrate music in with the social studies and language art curriculum. In grade 5 students talk about Canadian symbols such as the maple leaf or the queen and this song talks about a lot of that. You can also get the words so the students can sing along. This could be followed up with a lesson and numerous activities. I think that the song actually corresponds with a newer literacy unit that is available to teachers. Using this video would also be a great way to use technology in the classroom. I am not much of a singer and I think that this would be a great way to get the students singing in the class. It is interactive and it could be a lot of fun!
