Raps

In place of a vocabulary quiz, I had my students select a rap song and find it (download it) without the lyrics. Then, they had to put the chapter vocabulary in a rhyme scheme that fit the music (2 stanzas of 4 lines and 1 chorus line in between). The lyrics didn't have to make sense, and often times it was more fun when it didn't (our chapter was on technology i.e. my telephone ate my homework.). Creativity helped their grade (choreography, outfits, theme, etc.). This was a great way for the students to express themselves, show their personality and be assessed in a way other than through formal testing. They turned out great! user:blitzsar
