3 Titans: A Hip-Hop Ode To Knowledge And 'College'
Check this out: three 5th graders put together an awesome hip-hop song that big-ups college and higher learning. They collaborated with the celebrated Menahan Street Band (which has contributed tracks to Jay-Z, as well as working with greats like Sharon Jones and the Budos Band) – and were featured on NPR!
Challenge your students to write their own academic (or otherwise meaningful and classroom appropriate) rhymes – it’s a fantastic higher-order thinking activity, and gives your kids a chance to shine while working on their writing skills!
