Hip-hop was once only an outsider’s art form. Today, many teachers acknowledge rap as a legitimate form of poetry and find a place for it in their classroom — including using it as an introduction to poetry, evaluating lyrics for rhetorical devices, and using it to teach vocabulary. This free poster was inspired by The History of Hip-Hop, the second volume in the Vocabulary in Context series. This new book uses high-interest articles on the most important cultural elements of hip-hop to teach over 175 vocabulary words. Download the poster today.
