The Week in Rap: Election Edition

The Week in Rap: Election Edition

I came across this in the New York Times Education section. There is a site called Flovocabulary that creates rap videos to teach a variety of topics including current events. This idea of using music to teach students large concepts was actually one of the topics covered by Horacio Sanchez at our professional development on Tuesday. He talked about how the brain works in learning and that many students can be more successful when there is a rhythm or song to help them connect to the information. The YouTube video is embedded in the story so check it out!
