round opening discussion
On Tuesday, September 23rd, we returned to ISL to lead a writing workshop with one of their 7th grade English classes. After listening to the Digable Planets hip-hop song, "Where I'm From", students were led on a sensory exorcise to explore the unique attributes of their ideal New Orleans future neighborhood though descriptive languages. The students then wrote their hip-hop/poetry piece about their neighborhood to be featured, in part, in the Hip-Hop Teen, Prospect.1 Special Edition. Here's some photos of the workshop......versions of the hip-hop songs may be coming soon!
reading the words.. following the song..
sharing opinions..
and working on their own..
get it down..
help to build friendships..
and community.
