Antonio Young thought outside of the box to ensure his students would retain the important information
When it came time to teach his sixth-graders about the influential figures that helped shape Black history, Antonio Young said he wanted to do something that would stick with his students,After thinking about how he could help them retain the information, the Dunn Elementary School teacher in Arlington came up with an idea of writing a rap song and performing it along with his fellow sixth-graders.
The rest of his students are featured in the video doing choreographed routines in the classroom and hallway, as well as dancing around with many of the inventions discussed, including a clock, a container of peanuts, and Reese’s candy. To go along with the inspirational video, the girl wore a Martin Luther King Jr. shirt, while Young donned a gray T-shirt that read “Malcolm, Harriet, Martin, Maya, & Frederick” — a nod to several of the well-known Black figures in history.
