If you’re not familiar with After Skool take some time to become so. Their youtube.com channel is what they are best known for where they explain complicated topics with great animation and narration to break them down for people of all ages. Here are some titles:
- MASS PSYCHOSIS – How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL
- How to Have Mental Clarity in an Unclear World – Russell Brand
- How to Overcome Adversity
- Nikola Tesla – Limitless Energy & the Pyramids of Egypt
- Why Does February Have 28 Days?
- and many, many more.
Their most popular video, with over 10 million views, is “Why Don’t Country Flags Use The Color Purple?” With that in mind After Skool published a book based on the video.
Why Don’t Country Flags Use The Color Purple? is an educational and fun, colorful book. I love the illustrator’s (Mark W.) style. The text and characters are engaging and your youngest students will want this read to them over and over again.
Okay, I won’t spoil it, but there is one recent flag that uses the color purple and it is revealed at the end of the book.
Take a look and enjoy!
