Rap it up : reading, writing & performing rap poems in the classroom

This book and CD has been compiled to provide classes with rap poems from a variety of contemporary and popular children's poets, including Benjamin Zephaniah, Tony Mitton, Valerie Bloom and Brian Moses.

The teachers' notes help provide information on exploring both form and content of rap poetry, rhyme, rhythm, narrative, narration, alliteration and assonance.

The CD features two poets performing their own rap poems and also presents three musical backing tracks for children to use in their own performances or to set poems to.
