A Week in Rap is a component of Flocabulary that focuses on 3 current event stories a week that spark meaningful, classroom discussions. These stories are often global stories that allow students to debate and ask big questions. These stories also allow students to "get a glimpse" of the world and see what is going on around them, although some of these topics may be sensitive in nature. I think this is an excellent resource to utilize in my social studies classroom. It is very important for students to learn about the world, what is happening, and how all of the events effect one another, and us! These stories will allow students to see the bigger picture, learn background information from unfamiliar topics, avoid biases, and think deeply and make connections about big concepts in the world.
