That's+a+Rap!

// That’s A RAP! //  METRONOME: 80-84 You and your group members have been commissioned to write a rap to let the country know the history of the great state of Pennsylvania. Your rap will need to be written with at least one stanza or verse for each member of your group. Your group should also write a chorus/refrain to repeat after each verse.You will need to type it and then have it approved by Ms. Klahre. (ONLY SCHOOL APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE.) After your rap has been approved, you will then have time to practice it as a group. The final step will be to have all groups perform their raps in front of the class. We will be taking a vote and the members of the group having the favorite rap will earn 5 points extra credit.

Format:

A verse/stanza should have 4 lines, and each line should be approximately the same length.

Example:

Verse:

Klahre is the librarian whose books are the most Without her my AR points would be toast Klahre and her pug, with her tongue hanging free That's one Cat that won't be climbing a tree!

AR points and taking lots of tests Ms. Klahre's books are all the best Check them out but bring them back on time Or your fine will make you drop a dime!
