  • "Hip-hop texts are literary texts and can be used to scaffold literary terms and concepts and ultimately foster literary interpretations."
  • I liked the idea on pg. 63 of having students interpret both a poem and a hip-hop text.
  • I loved the idea of consulting with students about what songs or artists to study. Students really can be our teachers too.
  • Pg. 74 "In colleges & universities all over the nation and the world, film is treated as a complex and intellectual media worthy of academic study." Why isn't it viewed as important in middle schools & high schools?

  1. Isn't this all just amazing? Pop culture and music in the classroom is something I look forward to teaching. We as teachers are going to benefit from the latest technology and pass the knowledge onto our students ! Yes !
