Rap+Builder

 One of the most valuable tools I have found in recent years is called [|Rap Builder] by Plank Road Publishing.
 * Centennial Raps! ** **﻿ ** It's true! We do!



 It has been a fantastic unit that we do in the spring. It incorporates literacy, composition, performance, critical thinking, poetry, and blends them all together in a unit that the students are really proud of.

 We begin by taking suggestions from students and voting as a class which topic we will write a rap about. Past topics have included everything from Slurpees to the Stanley Hotel! We construct a rap using rhyming words and phrases and we finish the unit going through a recording process that gets better every year! We will begin our rap unit during the fourth quarter.
