Provides: If the above materials are not provided by the school, the RapOet will gladly bring: Laptop, speakers, paper, and utensils.
Lacking these materials will NOT prohibit the workshop, but having them is preferred:
Smartboard with sound (or speakers for the Artist"s laptop), paper and pens/crayons for each student, ability to connect a USB drive to the computer with Smartboard.
Flexible, but preferably a room where students are allowed to be somewhat louder than usual.
I CAN describe how a classroom is similar to a performance space. I CAN write poetry. I CAN perform poetry. I CAN make connections between rap music and other content areas that I'm currently studying.
A streamlined version of the critically acclaimed RapOetry Workshop involving 4 sessions per class (and an optional recording session for exceptional students). During creation of a collaborative performance piece (in the genre of Rap/Hip- Hop/Spoken Word poetry) students increase awareness of how rhythm (the use of repetition, tempo, and order) is used to enhance poetry, music, and even communication between students and teachers.
- Day 1: Use a range of traditional and electronic sounds for composition.
- Day 2: Compare spoken and written text, and then choose the words appropriate for their message.
- Day 3: Revise word placement and stress to increase understanding of how poets alter meaning through figurative language, puns, and poetic license.
- Day 4: Use vocal, facial, and physical performance cues.
Within schools participating with more than 55 students, the host teacher helps select students who are ready to record. The RapOet returns on a separate day to guide selected students through a 90-120 minute recording session.
Thank You!
The RapOetry Workshop has opportunities for caregivers to be involved as audience members for Solo and Live Band performances.
As for workshops and residencies, 1 focused and considerate caregiver per each 12 students in the class may assist with photographing, videotaping, and of course... participating in fun activities!
