New Unit: Hip Hop Goes Global

To help us get started we're going to talk about what we know (or don't know) about hip hop.

Quick Write:

In your English Journal:

Reflect and respond to the following prompt:

• What influence does hip hop have in our society or in our world?
• What is its message?
• Is it just music or something more?

Respond to these questions with examples from your own experience and observations.

Socrative:
Open Socrative and join room 6867.

Reminders:

• If you were absent do the quick write above and watch a short 10 minute video on the history of hip hop culture so you better understand what we will be looking at this week, you can find it here. 
• Make-up Socratic Seminar for those absent 12/15 will be AFTER SCHOOL on TUESDAY 1/9. Be in room 357 by 2:25 to participate.  Bring your preparation doc.
