Dear
|
Part I: On your Own (make notes in D2L or on your own)
|
Part II: With a Partner (read aloud and then solicit these answers from two colleagues)
- Does your colleague flow well in this Dear Hip Hop letter? Where could it flow better? (note:you don't need to mention the class in the essay unless you describe the class as if to someone who knows nothing about it)
- Does your colleague add unique personality and move in a personal way (rather than just use some ChatGPT cutting and pasting that any 6th grader can do)? Is this Dear Hip Hop letter unique and how?
- Does your colleague honor the spirit of Hip Hop in the creativity and vibe of their Dear Hip Hop letter? How so?
"Dear Hip Hop" (The Last RR and The Last Project)
FREE-FLOW THINKPIECE: What/when was the moment you fell in love with Hip Hop?
Or, when did you first become really aware of Hip Hop?
Don't just tell what happened. SHOW what happened.
Take us back to the time, the place, the sights, the sounds, the smells, the feels.

FREE-FLOW THINKPIECE: If you were to personify Hip Hop, who would it be? Man? Woman? Non-binary? Friend? Foe? Sister? Mother? Cousin? Current Lover/ love interest? Ex-bae? Ex-BabyDaddy? Why that?
What does this person look/do/talk/think/be like? And what do you want and need to tell them?
