My students had watched the "Daft Hands" version for the song 'Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger' by Daft Punk.
They loved it. So I took it one more step and showed them this video…
and asked them if they could do it.
I was greeted with a lot of no's. Which is understandable. The group of kids in the video are older than them. And probably had multiple weeks to practice this song. I was asking them to do it right then, same day.
But I'm not completely heartless. I only asked them to do it with four cards.
In their groups (of four) each member would have a card that they would have to hold up when they heard their word - harder, faster, better, stronger. They had heard the song perviously, we watched the Korean middle schoolers do it, and I showed them a version of the song with just the lyrics so that they could see their word when it was sung.
I wasn't asking too much!
Here's the results of how one class did...
Not too bad if I do say so myself. Only having heard it 3 times and never practicing. I'm teaching a bunch of "geniuses"!
