Rhyme Island’s ‘Rap Writing for Beginners’ is an online course designed to help children learn how to write and perform raps, as well as develop their creative writing skills.
This course is perfect for kids who are interested in rap music and want to explore their creativity in a fun and engaging way. It's also ideal for parents and educators who want to provide their children with a supportive learning environment that promotes self-expression and confidence.
The course is divided into several modules that cover various aspects of rap and creative writing, including:
-The basics of rap music and its history
-Developing a rap writing style and flow
-How to write rap lyrics that resonate with your audience
-Tips and tricks for performing your rap in front of an audience
-Building on your writing skills through exercises and prompts
Each module includes a video presentation by a professional rapper who provides encouragement and first-hand advice. In addition, there are printable worksheets that support each module and can be completed in class as a group, making this course ideal for both individual and group learning.
The worksheets are designed to help children develop their writing skills and creativity through engaging activities such as fill-in-the-blank exercises, story prompts, and brainstorming sessions. They provide a fun and interactive way for children to practice their writing skills and experiment with different writing styles.
By the end of the course, children will have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of rap and creative writing. They will also have a portfolio of their own rap lyrics and creative writing pieces that they can share with others. Most importantly, they will have gained a greater sense of confidence and self-expression, which will serve them well throughout their lives.
