#SocialStudies v6.0
March 8, 2012
Glad to have you back, video junkies.
This week on #SocialStudies, a smorgasbord of ridiculousness including (but not limited to) grenade avocados, tiny terrible soccer players and, of course, this guy…
1. When it Snows, it pours
Brian Snow, now-renowned amateur hoops announcer from Marist High School (near Chicago) has become a viral sensation this week after shredding his vocal chords on a series of playoff calls. We’ve taken the liberty of linking to the best here.
First playoff win, also known as “what greatness is all about in the IHSA.”
2. We can't get enough
Second playoff win, after overcoming a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit. “My gracious!”
3. We can learn something here
File this next one under well-produced and heart-warming. “l’equip petit” tells the story of a youth soccer team that has a serious problem: it can’t score goals. Consequently, wins are pretty tough to come by – but after watching this short film, I realized that wasn’t what mattered at all.
4. Seriously, fascinating
Here’s your non-sport awesomeness for the week: a stop-motion short about making guacamole. Don’t question it: just watch and enjoy.
Remember: if you find something you think should make the grade here on #SocialStudies, send it on over! We’d love to see/hear/read what you’re digging on the World Wide Web each week.
Until next time…
