This Week In Rap is a new on-line resource by Flocabulary that presents the weeks current events in a rap format. All lyrics are “classroom safe”. It is an interesting approach to teaching current events.
Flocabulary offers language high interest material for the struggling reader on the secondary level. They offer materials for language arts, social studies, science and math. Math rap written on a 2nd to 5th grade level teaches basic facts.
Founded by Blake Harrison and Alex Rappaport in 2004 Flocabulary offers a unique multimedia resource for teaching secondary students. Harrison, creative director, uses his experience to create an educational tool that seeks to engage students in a relevant manner. Rappaport is the CEO and runs the business side of Flocabulary.
