Thoughts on Video: I don't think the video is strange, even though others do. It was a cartoon made in the 1970's but the point was still made. I actually learned some interesting facts about women's suffrage that I didn't know before.

I liked the use of the online tools. It really does get the point across a lot better than reading about it in my opinon. With educational songs like the one about suffrage, you are captivated by the catchy tune and the cartoon and you listen to what it is saying. If you are reading a bunch of information about it, you might not completely understand it and you might do that thing where you are reading something but not really reading it. The song really captures my attention and makes me want to listen to it.
