HIP-HOP & LIT

HIP-HOP & LIT

“I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, and you don’t stop
the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat”

Enough of that. So…how does hip-hop relate to literacy?

After reading multiple articles, I now know how to answer that question! Many of the articles were able to link listening to hip-hop and memorizing lyrics, to learning equations and concepts in the classroom. Multiple teachers were able to incorporate lessons that revolved around music to teach their students. Patrick was even able to show our group a really interesting video about Kendrick Lamar visiting a classroom. The teacher wrote an entire English lesson plan around Kendrick’s music that the students really loved. It was really neat to see how involved and excited the students became. I think that this next generation of students are adapting the way they learn, and so teachers need to change the way they teach.

I am very excited to show the class what we have learned!
