Hi everyone! I discovered this channel on Youtube called historyteachers. Hope you enjoy this post!

I discovered this channel when my teacher showed us one of their videos since it was based on what we were studying. Before my teacher started playing the video, she mentioned that the video we were watching was actually a music video made by a history teacher. At the beginning of the video, I thought it was weird at first but later on, I soon started to enjoy watching the video.

After watching the video in class, I started to search some other videos made by this channel. Some of the videos that I watched included songs about the French revolution, the Trojan war, and Cleopatra VII. All of the videos are fun and educational at the same time because you get to learn history the fun way! It brings learning to a new level that makes it fun for everyone! If you are interested in seeing the videos from this Youtube channel, I put the link to the channel at the bottom of this post. I also have some videos from the channel at the bottom of this post if you are interested in watching these videos.

I really like the videos because of how they use different songs that we listen to everyday like “Vogue” by Madonna and “Hollaback Girl” by Gwen Stefani and make it very educational and entertaining to viewers. In some of the videos that they have the history teacher is in the music video while in others she is just singing.

One of the videos on Martin Luther used the song “Manic Monday” by the Bangles. In the video of Martin Luther, they sang about the life of Martin Luther from how he was a priest to when he was released and was no longer a priest. Another video that I saw was on Cleopatra that was using the song, “Fergilicious” by Fergie. This music video also sang about the life of Cleopatra. Historyteachers makes it fun to learn about the past and about famous people from the past.

These videos will always amaze you and is never boring. Every time you watch one of the videos from this Youtube channel, you’ll always learn something new about about the history.
