VHS Movie Reviews of Schoolhouse Rock! - Grammar Rock [VHS]

Movie Review: Carr's Critics Give 4 stars
Summary: 4 Stars

From Mrs. Carr's third period: This video was entertaining because the songs were catchy and easy to sing along with. The video helped us review the parts of speech and compare the differences between them. We were able to absorb the information while listening to the songs. The cartoons were really vivid and colorful, which made them stand out. Overall this video took us back to our elementary school days when we would all watch it in class. Conjunction Junction was a favorite. The rhyming and rhythm were very appealing. Mr. Morton was not very good, however, at explaining the information about sentences. It just gave examples and didn't really explain it. It seemed like it was too short.

Movie Review: Englishgeek
Summary: 5 Stars

I grew up in the 70's and 80's watching School House Rock. My favorites have always been "Interjection," "Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here," "Unpack Your Adjectives." Today, I teach College Prep Writing at a community college, and I introduce my students to the parts of speech with this video. And when I do, I always hear the comments from the back of the room, "Oh my God, she's even singing along." These songs work wonders even for adults. Later on, when we get more in depth, all I have to say is "Lolly Lolly" and students start singing themselves.

Movie Review: Great Refresher for Adults
Summary: 5 Stars

I work with many adult college students who do not remember basic grammar. I often recommend they buy this for a quick, basic grammar review. It sounds silly when I first say it, but this is a fun and memorable way to understand grammar. Many students report watching it with their children. It's also very helpful for ESL students.

Movie Review: Schoolhouse Rock! Grammar Rock
Summary: 3 Stars

Here's a quick fix or review for those children struggling with understanding grammar. Because of the easy tunes and rhyming lyrics, children will quickly remember the correct ways to use nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, subjects, and predicates. Because of the age of the product, it has inherent problems. Grammar usage rules have changed over the years, so children may pick up some weak or incorrect ideas on usage. Although many of us remember "Conjunction Junction" with great delight, children need to recognize the new list of conjunctions. The video tends to stress passive writing over active writing. Bits of the language in the "Adjective" song allow kids to belittle or mock others. But the joy of learning through music--even with dated lyrics--allows for a meeting ground where parents can add to the learning process.

Movie Review: School House Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars

At my school we perform plays and School House Rock was one of them. This year was the year we performed it and it was a success. The play even helped me. Cause some of the things they said i didnt know. This Review will help you with choosing the best school related movie to help your child with school.

Summary of Schoolhouse Rock! - Grammar Rock [VHS]

There are two types of Schoolhouse Rock fans. Type A: those who--inspired in the '70s and '80s by "Conjunction Junction" and "Interjections!"--went on to become grammar gurus, copyeditors, and computational linguists. And type B: those who--less inspired by grammar than by catchy refrains--can still sing lines that today sound less than P.C.:

Though Geraldine played hard to get (uh huh),
Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet.
He showed his affection,
Despite her objection,
And Geraldine hollered some interjections!

(Geraldo, if you'll recall, is a goat.) No matter. Both kinds of fans will enjoy revisiting these Saturday-morning shorts--and hopefully this video will find its way into classrooms, to boot. Clever teachers who grew up on this stuff will know how to make Schoolhouse Rock fans (ideally of type A) out of the next generation, too. --Erik Macki
