BARS: LEARNING THE WRITING PROCESS THROUGH RAP 

with: Bomani Armah
for teachers of grades 3-8

Description: In this interactive workshop, Baba Bomani will show teachers how to use aspects of hip-hop art and culture to create an engaging learning environment. Participants will learn rhyme-based strategies that build student writing and communication skills using the five steps of the writing process (pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing). Through the art of hip-hop, these strategies also enhance vocabulary while making connections between essay writing and songwriting.
