Hip Hop and The Curriculum, this is the topic I am pursuing for the first assignment. I chose this topic because it seemed like something I know about but I have never formally looked into before. I am aware music has huge influence over the classroom and I happen to like hip hop therefor I shall seek further information into this subject. My main text that I will be working with is titled “Deal with it, We Must”. This title in itself sets a tone for how and what I will be writing.
My plan is to highlight the importance of self expression through music and the importance of awareness when it comes to approaching certain types of music. Hip hop unfortunately comes with a lot of negative energy due to its sometimes explicit language however we must face it in respect of our students. We will never gain control over what students choose to engage in entertainment wise so deal with it, we must.
