WALT

·    To compose and create a rap (with beat if possible) about bullying

How did you go about achieving this? Came up with rhyming words with Cayden and Marcus.

What resources were used to help you? Used our device, Mr McCallum's rhyming words and used HTML 5 drum kit to create a beat.

Did you go through the process on your own or collaborate with other people? I collaborated with Cayden and Marcus.

How did you find the process? I found it hard because we had one and then lost it.

What did you enjoy most about the process of creating a rap? I enjoyed writing.

What  might be your next step? I would like to write a little bit more next time.

(If you want to – you can include your rap in the blog)

Theme

Beat Box

Dark And Light

Don’t be a bully just spread the plea       

We don’t like people victims just let them be

We know Mr Bully, we know everything

You may be my friend now but you hurt me everywhere

Chorus

Give Me An M an R an B an U an L an L and an Y

Mr Bully

We don’t like it at all

Dark And Light we choose light

But you Mr Bully you may choose but you ain’t no friend

Try to be the one who’s polite

We know how you started it

Your one who's afraid

Don’t be bully be a friend

Or your gonna be in thinking spot.

(We looked at what is Hip Hop and the 4 elements of it. We watched some rap videos on bullying. We were given an environmental rap in groups and had to learn and perform it. We looked at how rap is composed, and wrote some rhyming couplets about school. We were given a page of rhyming words that could be used and started the process of creating a rap. We were given ideas for creating a backbeat via a website – HTML5 – Drum Kit
