The week in Rap on flocabulary covers current issues in The United States and around the world. It offers students a glimpse into the ¨big world" or can relate to something currently going on in their lives. Many different topics can be covered in these videos, trying to incorporate all the major events that took place that week.
While there is a jr. version of the week in rap, Iḿ not sure I would use it in my classroom. While it is my job to educate students, some worldly topics can be sensitive to parents. Many adults have become frustrated with certain things being taught in the public classroom, so I try to stay as close to the curriculum as possible. I try to include important things (life lessons) throughout the year, but prefer to come up with my own resources and teach them my own way.
