Concepts that could be taught through this selection: Question words, spelling, pronunciation
This jazz chant focuses on the question words "who", "what", "when", "where", and "why". These words are repeated several times before moving on to using some of these words in full-sentence questions. This chant can be helpful to reinforce proper pronunciation for a series of words all beginning with "wh-" but with differing pronunciations of "wh-" depending on the word. This chant can be prefaced with a conversation about differing pronunciations of the same digraph, a review of the difference in meaning among these question words, and a discussion about the sentences presented in the video before watching the video and learning the jazz chant.
