 Hip hop,or rap (说唱) music as it’s also called,started on the streets and in the clubs of New York City in the 1970s. But today many countries have their own kind of hip hop music. This kind of music comes from reggae,disco and funk music. Rapping means speaking to the rhythm of the music,and it is an important part of this music. People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.

Rapping in class!

Would you like to rap in class? Well actually,hip hop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why? There is a new school program called “Flocabulary” in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects. The words of the songs are just what students are studying. This makes learning easy and fun. Students and teachers are excited about the positive results it has had on exam marks. One teacher said , “I’ve used hip hop songs in class,and I have never seen my students so crazy about history!You can’t imagine how well they remember what I teach!We even try to write our own songs. ”

Whose idea was Flocabulary?

Blake Harrison,a high school student,was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary. The word “Flocabulary” comes from the words “flow” and “vocabulary”. “Flow” is a rap word for “style”,or the way a rapper says the words of a song. “Vocabulary” means the words you have to learn in a language. How did he get the idea? Well,he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily. So,why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport,a song writer,Blake produces hip hop songs for math,science,and literature (文学) . They are now used in schools with great success.

 An old farmer lived with his little grandson. Every day the farmer got up early to read books.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa!I want to read books just like you,but I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?” The grandfather said, “Take this basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water. ”

The boy did,but all the water leaked out (漏出) before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to walk faster next time. ”

This time the boy ran faster,but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, “See Grandpa,it’s useless!”

“So you think it is useless?” the old man said. “Look at the basket. ”

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It was clean,inside and out.

“That’s what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything,but when you read them,you will be changed,in-side and out. ”
