Beats, Rhymes, and Classroom Life: Hip-Hop Pedagogy and the Politics of Identity by Gloria Ladson-Billings, Marc Lamont Hill

natmar's review against another edition

3.0

I read this for a class about using hip hop music and culture to promote literacy and classroom engagement. I valued a lot of this insight Hill provided from his firsthand experience. While I did not agree with every part of his curriculum, I do feel inspired to incorporate aspects of what he did in my future classroom. (Using songs with literary merit during a unit on poetry? Yes please)
