This is the first lesson for our Rap and Society curriculum. The idea is that we will all
teach each other through discussion and questions. Feel free to blurt out answers and
ideas. There are no wrong answers. Grades issued during theses sessions will be based
solely on participation; learning is an active process. On some days we will be listening
to rap songs from different time periods and watching clips from movies associated with
rap music.
Today’s lesson will be focused on your current perceptions through word association.
When you hear a subject concerning rap, or an artists’ name, blurt out what comes to
mind. Copy what is recorded on the board; these are your thoughts and your classmate’s
thoughts
Society
Women
RAP
And…
