"Cat in the Rain" Illuminated Text

Originally created by Jenny Lee of Whitney Young Magnet High School as an english project. More information available here: (www.awaytoteach. net).

For a fuller experience, read Ernest Hemingway's story first, here: (www.vahidnab. com/cat.pdf)

This is not my video. I uploaded this because I couldn't find it anywhere online except at the "A Way To Teach" website. It's truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I wanted to make it available on youtube. Maybe English teachers will assign this idea as a project for the class to work on: making illuminated texts for the short stories you read in class. Enjoy!

Song: "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence"

Shout-out to Cabell Midland High 2010!

@JoeMDash Yes, it's called "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" and Ryuichi Sakamoto plays it fantastically here: youtube.com/watch?v=5mfyCI82lW­M

Ive been trying to find a youtube version of this, thank you! Also, do you know what song she choose this for? i've been on a terrible search for it since i saw this in a HS class almost 2 years ago x.x

This is really great. I love the way the text moves around to make the story come to life.
