My Take
My 7th graders love it, the 8th graders I have tried to use it with were not so crazy about the historical raps, but loved the Week in Rap. Provides a great model for students to learn a new way to share their understanding of a subject. Very engaging. LEt's face it, if you are like me you can remember anything if it is put to music!
How I Use It
I teach world history and use the raps to enhance student interest and engagement. This year after listening to the Fertile Crescent Rap my students wrote their own raps to summarize a chapter about Empires of Mesopotamia. They were thrilled!

Misleading Information and Inflated Prices

Why should it be MY job to advertise and solicit for your product? How dare they lock the most useful features behind a paywall that individual teachers can have NO control over whatsoever.

Fun and engaging ways for students to learn!
The large variety of lessons on the website are great for me to see what my students are interested in and for me to do my lesson plans around. I love the usage of hip-hop music since some students would only be able to experience this kind of music at home or on their own. Incorporating it into informative and exciting videos allows students to connect more with what they are learning. The website is also easy to use. I would not recommend relying solely on this website, but it is a great starting point that teachers can create activities or further lessons from.
