Reading and Writing Assignment #10: Social Isolation Rap
Objective:
- Analyze the lyrics from the Fresh Prince theme song
- Identify and understand syllables and rhyming words
- Re-write the song so that it is about YOU!
This week you are going to take one of my favorite songs and rewrite the lyrics and rap about your experience during social isolation. You are welcome to do one verse or the entire song. Here is an example of the original.
It is important when you complete an activity like this (similar to when we did the Toys R Us jingle) that you have the same number of syllables in each line as the original. To make it sound even better you should try and rhyme the same lines that Will Smith does.
Here is an example
Original
Original
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, home to Bel-Air'
Mine
Grade 5 was a trip and I’ll never forget
Isaac riding his bike without breaking a sweat
Hoping Grade 6 and 7 fly by in a hurry
Can’t wait to be in the class with the great Mr. Murray
Here is a copy of the entire song for you to refer to while you rewrite. When you are done send me a copy OR even better, record a video of you rapping it!
