NYC Teacher Uses ‘Grammar Rap’ to Motivate Students
This 5th-grade teacher uses the power of rap to energize his students
I love this. Learning can be boring, especially when students don’t feel involved, but doing things like this actually makes them want to learn, and to do so so much easier. We need less strict teachers and more of this.
My 3rd grade teacher did this back in 1993 and I’ll never forget it! So dope!
Anything to keep the kids engage. Bravo.
