the RAP in rapport
i love rapport. and rapping, how can we merge the two to become a whole learnativity?
Hi David,
Not sure, but I think the idea has merit. Maybe this merger is going to be your effort and contribution to new learning methods. Go to work on it and let me know how you make out.

I think the idea of including music and personal interests is fantastic! I also think that the way of working rap into the course would really depend on the course and its objectives. For example, i actually had a student do a presentation on some of his own rap music the other day as the class was assigned to do a short personal oral presentation. This may not be applicable to say a math class, but maybe involving a glance at how meter and rhythm involves beats/ numbers could be (?)
Hope you find a way to meet the course goals and have fun involving diverse ways of doing so that are fun and interesting to all!
