For a teacher ed class this semester, I am creating a web- based inquiry into the links between rap, spoken word poetry, and canonical texts. Hopefully, through this loose string of genres we will be able to make Yeats accessible to low-performing students through the mediums of rap and spoken word -- which they already know. I would very much appreciate any insights you have into this project, resources that you know of, teachers who have used this and would be willing to be interviewed, and any links between rap and "traditional" poetry that you know of. The end goal of this project is an instructional unit, which I would be pleased to send you for your assistance. THANK YOU!!!!
