Trip to Linxia (video)

Here's a video of the trip to Linxia I took during Ramadan. I did a voice-over to help you figure things out. If you're on Facebook, cut that foolishness out. Facebook doesn't import the videos. If you're on my blog for realz, then enjoy.

People in my School (song)

Another original kids' song to use in my Saturday class. Actually, I took some of the words from their textbook, but as you'll see, that's not exactly the greatest literary crime ever perpetrated.
(For the greatest literary crime ever perpetrated, see "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper FForde. Yes, that's a recommendation.

If you're seeing this in Facebook, the video won't appear. So just click on "view original post" or go find it in my Facebook videos (if you have the video application. Geez, the Internet is complicated.)

My Pencil Case (song)

This is another in what can now be considered a string of kids' songs I've been writing to teach to some very young Chinese ESL students. I explain the rest in the video. Rock and roll.

If you're seeing this on Facebook, the video won't appear. Fortunately, you can just go to my Facebook videos and find it there, or click here on the "view original post" link.

The Months of the Year (song)



A new kids' song I wrote just tonight, to be used tomorrow morning. I'm ashamed because I say in the video "In order so that..." I'm sorry, bad English makes me cringe too, but I was in front of the camera and not thinking. Forgive me. Also, I should admit to some plagiarism: most of the words to this song were in fact lifted directly from... the calendar. Just thought I'd get that out in the open before we begin.
