This 5-session lesson plan aims to have students write and perform original raps. Students will work in groups to write poems using common English verbs like "I need" or "I love" as the start of each line. Over multiple sessions, the students will research word meanings, write their poems in Google Docs, practice rapping and dancing, and present their final raps to the class. The teacher will evaluate students based on their group participation, written poems, explanations of their poems, and performance of the final rapped presentation.
