I’m thinking about building this years #ELA curriculum around the 50th anniversary of #HipHop.
I have the resources and unit plans for such a thing, which we could use as a foundation for the standards we need to develop this year. Kids would learn the history and the elements of the genre, which then directly lead into collaborative, creative, student-centered work.

@seanwithwords Sounds like a great opportunity to partner with a social studies teacher and do “Hamilton.”
@AlliFlowers I love these way in! Teaching The Duel alongside Hamilton was prescribed as our official first unit last year, and it was one of the few I followed, bc it connects with the kids as well as me, but they moved it to later in the year this time around. Still might start with that tho. Thank you!
