Once upon a time, SchoolHouse Rock used Rufus Xavier Sarsparilla to teach a lesson pronouns. Featuring an updated song, the third of four videos in a Language Arts playlist, uses a catchy hip-hop tune to teach about pronoun-antecedent agreement. With big beats and helpful lyrics, it encourages learners to "become a pro at pronouns."
