Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
Writing a rap can be a useful resource in helping to teach children poetry. Rap incorporates music and allows kids to write poetry through song. Teaching children through the rap style can nurture an appreciation of poetry in children and make your lesson more appealing. Students can practice reading their rap and clap the rhythm. Focus on proper expression, timing, volume, speed, and rhythm of the rap. This should engage the whole class and draw them into the poetry. Then ask them to write their own rap!
