With a majority of my students liking some type of music it is beneficial for us to encourage the use of music or rhyming when memorizing events and dates. For extra credit you may create a short song or rap about some of the dates and events we have covered in class. There are three opportunities for extra credit:
Two Homework Replacement Grades= Create a rap about the following dates (include the important event): 1492, 1607, 1776, 1787
Two Daily Replacement Grades= Create a rap or song about the Causes of the American Revolution. Include all of them from the timeline activity in class (10/21).
Test/Project Replacement Grade= Create a rap or song about the American Revolution including the important battles, treaty of Paris, and the following individuals: General George Washington, Lord Cornwallis, and Paul Revere.
Raps or songs must be completed in front of the class OR can be recorded using technology*. Voice or video files can be sent to chris.hanson@manorisd.net or youtube links can be shared via email or online. Students may also use music apps to record their creations such as AutoRap.
*Videos and voice files will become the property of Mr. Hanson and can be used or shared in any way I see fit. Credit will be given to the creator when shared but last names will be left off for privacy reasons.
