It has finally begun! The books are ready, PowerPoints almost set, and videos cued up; I've been looking forward to this unit all year.
This is the most prepared and informed about Hip-Hop music I've been since my 5th graders (now 11th graders) asked to learn about the genre 7 years ago. But even so I'm always nervous to start the unit because as much as I think I know how my kids will react to the content. Some are ready for the more adult content while some are still very immature.
I'm fighting a weird head cold so I wish I was more on my game but the first week into the kids rotating electives is always a bit shaky and the kids know to give me this first week to ease into having them back and from then on it's easy to get through each day.
