Occasionally you hear something that just cries out "Turn me into a lesson!". Usually it's something quirky that in the end is probably left on my iPod because it's only of interest to me and 6% of the students I teach.
But this podcast from NPR All Songs Considered has real people choosing the songs that make them cry and telling their stories. It is riveting, emotional stuff. Great language. Real language and great music. If I was a student I would lap this up. Highly recommended to anyone with a heart and a soul.
I must turn part of it into a lesson. I must.
