Shee’s presentation, Excite the School: WL Lip Dubs & Flash Mobs!, was described in the conference program as a “fun, music-filled session...Jon Shee of St. Luke’s School will share how to organize and successfully execute WL-themed lip dubs and flash mobs. For WL lip dubs, students write lyrics in the target language to accompany the tunes of popular songs, and then the entire school dances and lip-syncs the song as a camera moves through the throngs of enthusiastic, costume-bedecked people. Nothing gets an entire community more mobilized and excited about languages than a lip dub or a flash mob!”
