Videos: Schoolhouse Rocks! Teaches You Grammar
Penguin January 21st, 2008
Schoolhouse rocks is an edutainment series of animated shorts originally made in the 70s. This may date me, but I remember growing up with “Conjunction Junction” and “I’m Just a Bill” on Saturday mornings.
Looking back, these shorts were incredibly well done. The animation is quirky and fun with a lot of visual gags that do the unexpected. For example, there’s one in “Interjection!” where a snake slithers up to a girl and the snake shouts, “Eeek!”.
As a writer, I like to think that I know a little bit about grammar. I just don’t know all the names for a lot of them. Enjoy your education!
