Extension Project for RaPoetry Workshop

Assigned: April 21, 2017

Due: April 27, 2017

As an extension of our workshop with Khaiim Kelly, the RaPoet, you are invited to create a rap or spoken word poem, incorporating the 8 words below from class. This rap or poem should be inspired by a rap artist or poet (living or dead) that you particularly admire.

Please type up your work and submit it along with a copy of a piece of work from the artist you are emulating.

You will perform your rap or poem for the class, as well as recite the rap or poem from the artist you selected. Be prepared to briefly discuss why you chose the artist you chose. What influence have they had on your life?

Following are the 8 words for each class. They can appear in your poem or rap in any order you choose.
