Description
of Classroom Activities
This generation of high schools students may not be aware of the
origins or history of Hip-Hop culture and rap music. This module
through blogs, articles, audio and video footage explores the
evolution of Hip-Hop culture from a focus on inequity, racism,
and self-empowerment to the current emergence of what is described
as the “bling” era.
This
module will provide an opportunity for students to examine the
influence of rap music and rap music videos on their own attitudes
and behavior. It is designed to develop student skills in deconstructing,
interrogating, and engaging the ethics and values of hip-hop as
a youth movement. Students will develop their creative and critical
thinking skills as required by the Florida standards, to identify
both the positive and negative aspects of hip-hop culture and
by also developing skills in recognizing, articulating, and challenging
the inherent value conflicts that exist in hip-hop, as related
to the manner in which these value conflicts shape the individual
ethics of their peers and themselves.
